### Start <span class="ml-2 font-semibold text-slate-light text-sm uppercase tracking-wide">Default</span>

Use `.content-start` to pack lines in a flex container against the start of the cross axis:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex content-start flex-wrap bg-smoke-light h-48">
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">1</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">2</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">3</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">4</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">5</div>
    </div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### Center

Use `.content-center` to pack lines in a flex container in the center of the cross axis:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex content-center flex-wrap bg-smoke-light h-48">
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">1</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">2</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">3</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">4</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">5</div>
    </div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### End

Use `.content-end` to pack lines in a flex container against the end of the cross axis:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex content-end flex-wrap bg-smoke-light h-48">
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">1</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">2</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">3</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">4</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">5</div>
    </div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### Space between

Use `.content-between` to distribute lines in a flex container such that there is an equal amount of space between each line:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex content-between flex-wrap bg-smoke-light h-48">
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">1</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">2</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">3</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">4</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">5</div>
    </div>
</div>
@endcomponent

### Space around

Use `.content-around` to distribute lines in a flex container such that there is an equal amount of space around each line:

@component('_partials.code-sample')
<div class="flex content-around flex-wrap bg-smoke-light h-48">
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">1</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">2</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">3</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">4</div>
    </div>
    <div class="w-1/3 p-2">
        <div class="text-slate text-center bg-smoke p-2">5</div>
    </div>
</div>
@endcomponent


## Responsive

To control the alignment of flex content at a specific breakpoint, add a `{breakpoint}:` prefix to any existing utility class. For example, use `md:content-around` to apply the `content-around` utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
