Basic usage

Clearing left-floated elements

Use the clear-left utility to position an element below any preceding left-floated elements.

Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies.

Use the clear-both utility to position an element below all preceding floated elements.

Disabling applied clears

Use the clear-none utility to reset any clears that are applied to an element. This is the default value for the clear property.

Using logical properties

Use the clear-start or clear-end logical properties, which map to either the left or right side based on the text direction.

ربما يمكننا العيش بدون مكتبات، أشخاص مثلي ومثلك. ربما. بالتأكيد، نحن أكبر من أن نغير العالم، ولكن ماذا عن ذلك الطفل الذي يجلس ويفتح كتابًا الآن في أحد فروع المكتبة المحلية ويجد رسومات للتبول والبول على القطة في القبعة والإخوة الصينيون الخمسة؟ ألا يستحق الأفضل؟ ينظر. إذا كنت تعتقد أن الأمر يتعلق بالغرامات المتأخرة والكتب المفقودة، فمن الأفضل أن تفكر مرة أخرى. يتعلق الأمر بحق ذلك الطفل في قراءة كتاب دون أن يتشوه عقله! أو: ربما يثيرك هذا يا سينفيلد؛ ربما هذه هي الطريقة التي تحصل بها على ركلاتك. أنت ورفاقك الطيبين.

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:clear-none to only apply the clear-none utility on hover.

<p class="clear-left hover:clear-none">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:clear-none to apply the clear-none utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<p class="clear-left md:clear-none">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers.
