Hello,

I am trying to copy Ben’s video (Use Tailwind UI in Elements. No Hacks, Just Custom Components!). When I insert the @text code it doesn’t duplicate the hard coded text but inserts lorem ipsum text. Anyone any ideas where I’m going wrong.

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong… you’ll just need to replace the lorem ipsum text (as that’s the editable area).

If you get stuck just let me know 🙂
