  <p>
    Generates a series Tailwind media query classes to query a document based on
    the presence and accuracy of the user’s pointing device and whether it has
    the ability to hover over elements. For a better understanding, CSS Tricks
    has a great article about them:

  <p>
    This plugin will output prefix classes which generate media queries for:

  <ul>
    <li>
      <code>.pointer-course:foo</code> generates
      <code>@media (pointer: coarse){ ... }</code>

  <p>
    The following, totally pointless example, will have a dark blue background
    colour on devices where the primary pointer device is a mouse or stylus and
    a light blue background colour on devices where the primary pointer device
    is something, such as a finger.
