Description:
Defines the horizontal alignment of text within a block-level element by defining the point to
which line boxes are aligned. The value
justify
is supported by allowing user agents to pro-
grammatically adjust the word (but not letter) spacing of the line's content; results may vary
by user agent.
Examples:
p {text-align: justify;}
h4 {text-align: center;}
