text-justify Attribute | textJustify Property

CSS Attributes Index   Text Attributes


Determines the type of alignment used to justify text in the object.

Syntax


CSS { text-justify : 'inter-word' | 'newspaper' | 'distribute' | 'distribute-all-lines' | 'inter-ideograph' | 'auto' }
Script object.style.textJustify = sAlign ]

Possible Values


inter-word Aligns text by increasing spacing between words. This spacing behavior is the fastest. This justification behavior does not affect the last line of the paragraph.
newspaper Increases or decreases spacing between letters and between words. It is the most sophisticated form of justification for Latin alphabets.
distribute Handles spacing much like the newspaper justification behavior. This form of justification is optimized for East Asian documents, particularly Thai.
distribute-all-lines Justifies lines in the same way as distribute, except that it justifies the last line of the paragraph too. This justification behavior is intended for ideographic text.
inter-ideograph Provides full justification for ideographic text. It increases or decreases both inter-ideograph and inter-word spacing.
auto Allow the browser user agent to determine which justification algorithm to apply.

The property is read/write with a default value of auto; the proposed cascading stylesheet ( CSS ) extension attribute is not inherited.

Remarks

For this property to affect text layout, the text-align property must be set to justify.
