What is Justified Text?
As you probably know, justifying text helps to align content to both the left and the right margins, appending spare space between words as required. This creates a neat and clear look along both the left and the right side of the post/page.
Justified text is oriented in such a manner that the left and right sides of the text both have a clear-cut edge.
How does Justification work?
Justification works by adding empty white space between the words in each line so that all the lines have the same length. This adjusts the typical spacing of the font, but in paragraphs of adequate width, it’s usually not problematic.
