No response

Describe the Bug

I cannot use Astro collections inside the tailwind.config file, since the module "astro:content" is not defined

[postcss] Cannot find module 'astro:content'

What's the expected result?

Use a collection inside the tailwind.config file, since I have a collection with colors definitions and want to build custom Tailwind colors dynamically based on them

Collections weren't designed to be imported in a tailwind configuration file.

Also, I don't think we have a documentation page where we show how you can do that.

Closing as it's not a bug

Thanks for the answer! I'll think of an alternative solution. I will also pay attention to the right place to ask my questions.
