Justifying Text in Blocks? How?

How can I justify blocks of text? I've tried

[j]Some text to justify[/j]


and that hasn't worked. I've done a search using the term 'justify', 'justify text' and 'text alignment' without any joy.

Any idea anyone? If there isn't a feature for it, could it be implemented in the same way that bold, underline, strikthrough and italics are?

catch the class of that block or content and add

.thatclass {
text-align:justify;
}

in to your style.css

My block is called 'Welcome' and it contains the text I want to justify.

Sorry, I don't understand? What do you mean by

?

I don't know much about css.

if i'm not too wrong ...

.blockContent should be your class ... so add
.blockContent {
text-align:justify;
}


into your file style.css



or course this will align all blocks of that class to justify...

Yes, that was it. In my case, I use the Zaja-System theme which has the following entry for the central centre column (there are four or five in this theme for various tables but I only wanted my central blocks justified) :

td#centerCcolumn div.blockContent
{    
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 3px;
    line-height: 120%;
    padding: 10px;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #0C0F14;
}


When I changed it to :

td#centerCcolumn div.blockContent
{
    text-align:justify;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 3px;
    line-height: 120%;
    padding: 10px;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #0C0F14;
}


it worked!

Thank you very much.

Another way is to use div tag.

<div align="justify">
Justify this text here.
</div>

Can be used throughout your theme or directly within the custom block code.

That would have been easier than adjusting my css files because, although it has worked a treat, it's also justifying my NewBB 'Recent Topics' block which is not desirable. I may give your method a whirl too.

Thanks

Yeah - tried your method, and put my css files back to how they were, and it's worked great. So now I can just select which blocks I want to justify the text in - super.

Thanks a lot.

Your welcome!

By the way, how is Lost-Doggies.com coming along? I remember in December you wanted more activity, and maybe feeling a little frustrated.

Good luck with your project!
