When you want to justify text you have to alter the spacing between the words so that both the right and left margins are straight. You can use CSS to create this effect.
File test.css
p {
text-align: justify;
font: 14px Arial, Helvetica,Geneva ,Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.5;
}
Other values for text-align are:
– right – aligns the text to the right of the container
– left – aligns the text to the left of the container
– center – aligns the text center
The test file is the following:
File test.html
