How can I use the "clamp" function with Webflow? I have already placed an HTML Embed code in the body to apply custom styling, and I have set the root with my variables. However, the "clamp" function is not working. Can someone help me with this issue in Webflow?

To use the `clamp` function in Webflow, you need to make sure you're applying it correctly within the HTML Embed code or custom CSS area.

Here's an example of how you can use `clamp` to set a range of values for an element's font size:

1. Open the project in Webflow and navigate to the page or element where you want to apply the `clamp` function.
2. Add an HTML Embed element or open the custom CSS area where you can write CSS code.
3. In the HTML Embed element or CSS code, target the element you want to modify. For example, if you want to apply `clamp` to a heading, you would use the element's class or ID selector.
4. Apply the `clamp` function to the desired CSS property, such as font-size, with the following syntax: `clamp(min, preferred, max)`.
- `min`: The minimum value the property can have.
- `preferred`: The preferred or ideal value for the property.
- `max`: The maximum value the property can have.

Example: `font-size: clamp(16px, 3vw, 32px);`

In this example, the font size will be responsive, scaling between 16px and 32px. The preferred size (3vw) will be used when the viewport is wide.

5. Save the changes and publish your site to see the `clamp` function in action.

If the `clamp` function is not working, there could be a few reasons:

1. Syntax error: Make sure you're using the correct syntax and separating the values with commas (`,`).
2. Compatibility: Check that the browser you're testing on supports the `clamp` function. It's supported by most modern browsers, but it's always a good idea to double-check.
3. CSS specificity: Ensure that your CSS selector has the appropriate specificity to target the desired element correctly.
4. Existing conflicting styles: Check if there's any other CSS property or style that might be overriding the `clamp` function or conflicting with it.

If you're still facing issues, consider sharing more details about your code or providing a live URL where the problem can be inspected further.
