Describe your issue

Looking through past issues, it seems like this is a potentially viable solution for customizing the prose plugin; however using .not-prose in this case won't unset styles defined in @utility prose.

It's mentioned a few times in various places, but just to make it clear: as of writing, in order to customize the typography plugin, you must use the Tailwind config.

Hopefully, this issue can help track the state of supporting customizing the prose plugin in a "v4 way".

Hey! Something we've been tinkering with (while looking at building a CSS-only version of the Typography plugin) was to do this instead:

@utility prose { 
  :not(:where([class~='not-prose'], [class~='not-prose'] *)) {
    h1 {
      color: red;
    }
  }
}

The :not(:where([class~='not-prose'], [class~='not-prose'] *)) will ensures rules nested underneath it won't match inside .not-prose anymore. Here's how this would look like in your example: https://play.tailwindcss.com/OjxphORR9U?file=css

That still doesn't look right to me. Here's what I'd expect using the v3 config https://play.tailwindcss.com/krKYNAX0AV
