In-Depth Information
Although it is usually considered separate from font properties, you
may include this text-related
line-height

8.4.6.3. The text-align property
Text justified with respect to the page margins is a rudimentary feature
of nearly all text processors. The
text-align
property brings that capab-

<div>
and
<p>
.) Use one of four values:

For left-to-right locales. In right-to-left locales, the default is
right
.
For example:
div {text-align: right}
tells the styles-conscious browser to align all the text inside
<div>
tags
against the right margin. The
justify
value tells the browser to align the
text to both the left and right margins, spreading the letters and words
