Mobi - Text justification in Tables
I want to edit a kindle book containing a large number of tables with justified text. The text alignment has been set in the CSS by giving a class to the td tag. The text appears justified on Kindle e-ink but is unjustified on Kindle fire and on Kindle app. Is there a way a simple way to make the text appear justified across all devices? I suppose if I added a <p> tag with a class to each cell of text, it might give me more control, but there are an awful lot of table cells in this document.

Why not just have this in your CSS:

Code:
td {
     text-align: justify;
}

Wouldn't it be easier to add the class to the td? You could regex it...???

The td (table cells have classes, with text align set to justify. In a browser all looks fine but on opening in kindle fire, the cells are arranged left. There is no problem with the epub version of this book - all table text is justified. For some reason the kindle fire is not following the CSS for text alignment within tables. I wonder if anybody else has had this problem

That's peculiar. Can you show us the HTML just around the table (and is it in a div, perchance? Some other type of container, maybe?) and the CSS?
