[Pro] Justified Text?

Freeway

I seem to have a lot of issues with using the justified text, rag left option in the text styles panel. Sometimes that looks great. Other times it leaves big gaps between words. Is there some other setting I need to apply for this option to work better?

That’s one of the reasons I hardly ever use it. I believe there’s some JavaScript libraries to help get better justified text.

I wonder if there’s some CSS code I can add to the Extended section of the Text Style? Where’s Delta Dave?

Adjusting the hyphenation can sometimes improve text rag. There is a CSS3
property for this, and I think Walter even made an action for it.

Assign it to the

tag (or create the p tag if it doesn’t already exist) in your stylesheet. It will then be applied to anything wrapped in a paragraph tag. If done correctly it will look like this in the 'sheet:

	p {
    	-webkit-hyphens: auto;
    	-moz-hyphens: auto;
    	-ms-hyphens: auto;
    	-o-hyphens: auto;
    	hyphens: auto;
    	margin-bottom: 14px;
    }

Or use Walter’s action.

Oops, you can drop the margin-bottom property, that’s not required.

I took the simple route and used Walter’s action. Worked great!
