Css Text-justify Example
The text-justify CSS property sets what type of justification should be applied to text when text-align: justify; is set on an element.
text-justify: none;
text-justify: auto;
text-justify: inter-word;
text-justify: inter-character;
text-justify: distribute; /* Deprecated value */
Syntax
The text-justify property is specified as a single keyword chosen from the list of values below.
Values
none- The text justification is turned off. This has the same effect as not setting
text-alignat all, although it is useful if you need to turn justification on and off for some reason. auto- The browser chooses the best type of justification for the current situation based on a balance between performance and quality, but also on what is most appropriate for the language of the text (e.g., English, CJK languages, etc.). This is the default justification used if
text-justifyis not set at all. inter-word- The text is justified by adding space between words (effectively varying
word-spacing), which is most appropriate for languages that separate words using spaces, like English or Korean. inter-character- The text is justified by adding space between characters (effectively varying
letter-spacing), which is most appropriate for languages like Japanese. distributeThis deprecated API should no longer be used, but will probably still work.- Exhibits the same behavior as
inter-character; this value is kept for backwards compatibility.
