 ### Choosing a specific version of `tailwindcss`
 
 The `tailwindcss-ruby` gem is declared as a floating dependency of this gem, so by default you will get the most recent stable version. However, you can select a specific version of Tailwind CSS by pinning that gem to the analogous version in your application's `Gemfile`. For example,

 ### You don't _have_ to upgrade
 
 Keep in mind that you don't _need_ to upgrade. You can stay on Tailwind CSS v3 for the foreseeable future if you prefer not to migrate now, or if your migration runs into problems.
 
 If you don't want to upgrade, then pin your application to v3.3.1 of this gem:
 
-``` ruby
+```ruby
 # Gemfile
 gem "tailwindcss-rails", "~> 3.3.1" # which transitively pins tailwindcss-ruby to v3
 ```
 
 If you're on an earlier version of this gem, `<= 3.3.0`, then make sure you're pinning the version of **both** `tailwindcss-rails` and `tailwindcss-ruby`:
 
-``` ruby
+```ruby
 # Gemfile
 gem "tailwindcss-rails", "~> 3.3"
 gem "tailwindcss-ruby", "~> 3.4" # only necessary with tailwindcss-rails <= 3.3.0
 ```

 ### Upgrade steps
 
 > [!WARNING]
 > In applications using Tailwind plugins without JavaScript tooling, these upgrade steps may fail to fully migrate `tailwind.config.js` because the upstream upgrade tool needs the Tailwind plugins to be installed and available through a JavaScript package manager. If you see errors from the upstream upgrade tool, you should try following the additional steps in [Updating CSS class names for v4](#updating-css-class-names-for-v4) which will help you install (temporarily!) the necessary packages and clean up afterwards.
 
 First, update to `tailwindcss-rails` v4.0.0 or higher. This will also ensure you're transitively depending on `tailwindcss-ruby` v4.

+
+If you have Rails Engines in your application that use Tailwind CSS and provide an `app/assets/tailwind/<engine_name>/engine.css` file, entry point files will be created for each of them in `app/assets/builds/tailwind/<engine_name>.css` so they can be included in your host application's Tailwind CSS by adding `@import "../builds/tailwind/<engine_name>"` to your `app/assets/tailwind/application.css` file.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> You must `@import` the engine CSS files in your `app/assets/tailwind/application.css` for the engine to be included in the build. By default, no engine CSS files are imported, and you must opt-in to using the file in your build.

 ### Class names must be spelled out
 
 For Tailwind to work, your class names need to be spelled out. If you need to make sure Tailwind generates class names that don't exist in your content files or that are programmatically composed, use the [safelist option](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/content-configuration#safelisting-classes).
