### Using asset-pipeline assets

To use assets from the asset pipeline one would normally use `asset-url`. This doesn't work with Tailwind, as the CSS is not processed with sass. Instead use `url(image.svg)`, [since Sprockets v3.3.0](https://github.com/rails/sprockets-rails/pull/476) the URL will automatically be rewritten. In Tailwind this looks like this:

the URL will automatically be rewritten for me as a reader this is a bit too abstract, can we expand a bit on this so I don't have to open PR link to understand what rewritten means.


```js
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
backgroundImage: {
'image': "url('image.svg')"
}
}
}
}
```

The inline version also works:

```html
<section class="bg-[url('image.svg')]">Has the image as it's background</section>
```
