Describe your issue
The Typography renders the graph to be overflowing the container when screen width is too small like a phone screen.


Hey!
So while our typography plugin ships with basic table styles, it doesn't try to solve overflow issues when your table content is wider than the container it is in.
Here's a quick Tailwind Play illustrating the same issue you're experiencing:

One common way to solve this problem is to introduce horizontal scrolling. This is actually what we do for many of the tables in Tailwind UI (see https://tailwindui.com/components/application-ui/lists/tables).
You can implement this yourself by wrapping your table with a <div> and applying the overflow-x: auto CSS property to it:
<div class="prose max-w-xs">
<div class="overflow-x-auto">
<table>
<!-- ... -->
</table>
</div>
</div>I've put together a Tailwind Play illustrating how to do this:

While it would be nice to handle this automatically in the typography plugin, it's not possible since it requires adding a wrapping <div>, which of course can't be done strictly from CSS alone.
One alternative approach is to allow the words in your table to break using the word-break: break-all CSS property, but generally this isn't great since it makes the content quite difficult to read.
I hope that helps!
