justify

I'd like to take an h2 element and span it's text across the width of it's div. text-align:justify; only spreads the text if it's width is greater than the width of it's container... kind of like Photoshop's justify-left CSS: h2 {text-align: justify;} h2 span {width: 100%; display: inline-block;} HTML: <h2>This is a h2 heading<span></span></h2> Note that this adds a unvisible extra line, resulting in too much height. You might want to compensate for that: h2 {text-align: justify; height: 1.15em;} And for a very neat markup, only working for browsers other then IE7 or below, you could use the :

I am trying to do some formatting on output data in a script and not positive how to do Left Right justify as well as width. Can anyone point me in the right direction? you can use printf. examples $ printf "%15s" "col1" $ printf "%-15s%-15s" "col1" "col2" tools like awk also has formatting capabilities $ echo "col1 col2" | awk '{printf "%15s%15s\n", $1,$2}' col1 col2 You're not being very clear, but the easiest way is probably to just use printf() (the shell command, not the C function of the same name). Left align is kind of trivial, to get right align you can use printf and the envrironment

How do you justify text in R? By justify I mean that each line in a paragraph is exactly the same length (like when you justify in open office or excel). I have tried to find an option with strwrap and cat but have been unsuccessful. ## Get some sample text example from wikipedia api library(httr) library(xml2) name <- "Invictus" url <- URLencode(sprintf("https://en.wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=parse&prop=text&page=%s&format=json", name)) res <- read_html(content(GET(url))$parse$text[[1]]) string <- iconv(xml_text(xml_find_all(res, "//p"), trim=TRUE), "latin1", "ASCII", sub=" ")[1:2]

I am currently trying to justify text in a textarea, unfortunately the CSS: text-align: justify; Doesn't work on the text like center, left and right do. I've tried this in both Firefox 3 and IE 7 with no luck. Is there any way around this? i dont think this is possible in the html textarea element. you might be able to use some sort of wysiwyg editor (editable div). ie. fckeditor I dealt with same issue and found out very stupid solution. Make sure that the text to be displayed falls within the start and end tag elements in the same line and not in the next line <textarea name="description"

Is it possible to right-justify the text in an AlertDialog's title and message? I am showing Hebrew messages but they are showing up left justified. inazaruk As far as I can see from the code of AlertDialog and AlertController you can't access the TextView s responsible for message and title. You can use reflection to reach mAlert field in AlertDialog instance, and then again use reflection to access mMessage and mTitle fields of mAlert . Though I wouldn't recommend this approach as it relies on internals (which might change in future). As another (and probably much better) solution, you can

Is there a way to automatically justify words using letter spacing, each in its row, to a defined width, using CSS? For example, "Something like this" would look, well, something like this: Is there a non-obtrusive way to apply such styling to my text? I believe pure CSS doesn't have this option (at least not with CSS versions before 3, CSS3 seems to have a text-justify property, but it's not well supported yet), so js solutions would be fine also. Dark Falcon Here's a script which can do it. It isn't pretty, but maybe you can hack it to meet your needs. (Updated to handle resizing) function

Why doesn't the following code work in IE10? .foo { display: -ms-flex; -ms-justify-content: center; } What do I need to write in order for them to work? IE10 implemented the Flexbox draft from March 2012 . Those properties correspond to these: .foo { display: -ms-flexbox; -ms-flex-pack: center; } A good place to start when trying to get the syntax right for all browsers is http://the-echoplex.net/flexyboxes/ For centering elements horizontally and vertically within a container you'll get code something like this: (working in Chrome,FF,Opera 12.1+ and IE 10+) FIDDLE <div class="flex-container">
