+Evidence supports customizing the look and feel of your project using CSS, as well as by overwriting default code files. We plan to make this easier in the future.
+
+## Custom Styles
+
+Evidence uses [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com) to style Evidence components and markdown, and you can use Tailwind to add your own styles.
+
+To style with Tailwind you add *classes* to HTML elements. You can use any HTML element in your markdown.
+
+For more information on using Tailwind, see the [Tailwind documentation](https://tailwindcss.com/docs).
+
+N.B. Tailwind removes styling from HTML elements by default, so should add your own styles to `<h1/>`, `<a/>` etc.
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Customize Fonts
+
+![Tailwind fonts](/img/tailwind.png)
+
+```markdown
+This is the default text style, which is used when you write text in a markdown file.
+
+<p class="text-red-600 italic font-serif">This red italic serif text is defined inside a HTML p (paragraph) element.</p>
+
+<p class="font-mono text-blue-500 mt-3">This is blue text using a monospace font, and a custom top margin.</p>
+```

+#### Edit Image Appearance
