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-align at 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-justify is 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.

distribute This 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.
