To format paragraphs I use text-align:justify
, but I have one problem that there are big spaces between words, for IE the solution is to use text-justify: distribute;
, but Chrome doesn't support this, my question is what should I use for Chrome and Firefox
Example of big spaces: http://jsfiddle.net/L5drN/
Consider using hyphenation (manual, CSS, server-side, or client-side JavaScript), see e.g. answers to Can I use CSS to justify text with hyphenating words at the end of a line?
Hyphenation tends to help a lot when there are long words in the text.
You can still keep text-justify: distribute
, as it can improve the result on supporting browsers, and it can be expected to gain support, as it in the CSS standardization track (in CSS Text Module Level 3 WD).
Give negative values as you prefer for word-spacing..
ex:
text-align:justify;
word-spacing:-2px;
Works for me and Hope this helps :)
How do you want to format the paragraphs? Do you mean the width, height, letter spacing or word spacing?
Have you tried using the text-align CSS tag?
text-align:center
Or the word-spacing CSS tag?
word-spacing:10px
