Viewer: Book does not "justify"
Hi there,

I want all my books justified when viewing, but the code "body { line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;}" does not work on every book.



What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
FK

That's because the eBook's CSS has code elsewhere that overrides this. It changes the line-height and the alignment. You cannot rely on your code always working. The only way to be 100% sure is to edit the code of the eBook.

Ok seems reasonable, when converting I always force justify, but I don't convert every book I take a look at.

You don't need to convert. Just delete all line-height and left justification lines in the CSS after removing all unused CSS. Then you can put your code in body and it will work.

Sorry, but that won't work. You do not want justify to override center and/or right justification.
