Customizing recipes - justify text

Leonatus · 02-04-2022, 11:54 AM

Another question in order to customize recipes: Is there a way to make justification of text the default in the recipe?

extra_css = '* { text-align: justify !important}'

Once again, thank you, Kovid!

Hm, I have been quick with my eulogy. My recipe has those extra-css:

Code:

 extra_css = 'td.textb {font-size: medium;}'
    extra_css = '* { text-align: justify !important}'
    extra_css = '* { text-decoration: none !important}'

The font-size-extra-css is built-in; the two others I added. When I download the customized-recipe-based news source, the text-decoration-removal is added to the css rules, but not the "justify" rule; this remains at "left".
Thus, there appears no justified text in the news source.
Is there something missing?

Each of the extra_css is erasing the one that came before. I think you want

Code:

    extra_css = 'td.textb {font-size: medium;} * { text-align: justify important; text-decoration: none !important}'

Thank you, but while the text-align command appears in the css, it takes still no effect in the news source. Text-decoration, however, is still working fine.

Edit: With an exclamation mark before the "important", it works all!
Thus:

Code:

extra_css = 'td.textb {font-size: medium;} * { text-align: justify !important; text-decoration: none !important}'

Thanks everyone!
