Hi Kevin, Antiquated or inadequate definitions aside, I am actually quite correct. I'm referring to the common problem of how to display the last line of text in a paragraph. This decision can also drastically increase the whit rivers problem already discussed.
This last line can, in fact, be aligned either left, right or centre depending on your needs, language, fancy or daft inclination. Indeed this form of justified paragraph is so popular that any professional desktop application worth it's salt has all these styles built-in. InDesign is just one example. I hope that calrifies it for everyone. This has now gone way OT. Direct replies only please. The list is surely bored to death with this by now. -- Paul A Noone Webmaster, ASHM [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Futter Sent: Friday, 16 December 2005 8:51 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Justify this On 15/12/05 4:27 PM, "Paul Noone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > That's just another limitation of the parameter.

Justified text is exactly as I described in my last post: text that spans a full block element (print or screen) and is aligned to both left and right margins. I am of course talking about the technical publishing definition of the term, not the CSS version. -- Kevin Futter Webmaster, St. Bernard's College http://www.sbc.melb.catholic.edu.au/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
