Spacing between words
On e-readers these days when a word dosent fit on the line it moves down a line and the previous lines spacing adjusts to fit text across the full width of the page. The readers do this automatically.
Is there a way to do this in Sigil with the last line of a paragraph so all lines spread the width of the page? |

That's done in CSS, with this in your html,
Code:
<p class="justify">Some text</p> Code:
.justify{text-align:justify} Last edited by Keroberos; 04-08-2012 at 08:10 AM. Reason: too early in the morning to type |

In CSS3 there is text-align-last. Maybe some future ePub 3 reader supports it...

Some day in a world far away, there will be enough power in e readers to repetitively reformat the entire book so that the justification will be perfect throughout. Someday..sigh.

I like my paragraphs to have a little character. Something to make them not look exactly like the previous and the next one. Sometimes, I switch to ragged-right when reading simply because I get tired of staring at screen after screen of sterile, justified text. |

I do try and style a series to be all the same look. But I like to play with Chapter headings, Initial paragraphs and scene breaks for variety on various titles |

Yeah, I kinda like the plain-old, plain old, first-line-indent, occasionally justified, sometimes not, text for "bulk" reading. I have lost track of how many manuscripts I get in here from authors who use block paragraphs, with a line of horizontal whitespace between, and I find it horribly unconducive to ease of reading. JMHO, natch. Hitch |
