How do you justify text using CSS?

Justifying Text in CSS

Text justification aligns text to both the left and right edges of a container, creating a clean, block-like appearance. CSS provides properties to control text alignment and spacing for justified text.

Key CSS Properties for Justification
  1. 1

    text-align: justify; – Aligns text to both left and right edges of the container.

  2. 2

    text-align-last: justify | left | right | center; – Controls the alignment of the last line in a justified block.

  3. 3

    word-spacing and letter-spacing – Adjust spacing to improve the appearance of justified text.

  4. 4

    hyphens: auto; – Allows words to break with hyphens to reduce gaps in justified text.

Example: Basic Justified Text
Example: Controlling Last Line Alignment

Using text-align: justify spreads text across the full width of the container. To avoid awkward spacing on the last line, text-align-last or proper hyphenation helps maintain readability.

Best Practices
  1. 1

    Use justified text for paragraphs or articles to create a formal layout.

  2. 2

    Avoid justifying very short lines or headings, as it can create uneven gaps.

  3. 3

    Combine with hyphens: auto for smoother word breaks in long paragraphs.

  4. 4

    Adjust word-spacing or letter-spacing sparingly to improve appearance.

  5. 5

    Test readability on different screen sizes, especially for responsive layouts.
