Recipe 1.15 Setting Text to Be Justified
Problem
You want to align
text
to be justified on both the left and
right sides, as in Figure 1-29.
Solution
Use the text-align property:
P {
width: 600px;
text-align: justify;
}
Discussion
How well does text justification work? According to the CSS 2.1
specification, it depends on the algorithms developed by the
engineers who made the browser being used to view the web page.
Because there isn't an agreed-upon algorithm for
justifying text, the look of the text varies from browser to browser,
even though the browser vendor technically supports justification.
Browser support for the property is good in Internet Explorer 4+ for
Windows, Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh, Safari, and Opera 3+. In
those browsers, justified text looks pleasing to the eye. In other
browsers, justified text may look bad; for example, it might have
large whitespace between words.
