And for me it shows justified. But I don't think that is relevant at all. Surely both you and I will find that a small minority of printed text around us is right justified (ragged left). Nonetheless, HTML 3.2 allows ALIGN=LEFT. So why not ALIGN=JUSTIFY? > If one does not have control over typeface, > font size, letterspacing, wordspacing, hyphenation, line length, *and* > line leading, then IMHO it is inappropriate to specify full-justification. But one already has control over alignment. We have already allowed ALIGN=LEFT, ALIGN=CENTER, and ALIGN=RIGHT. Marcus -- Marcus E. Hennecke marcush@crc.ricoh.com http://www.crc.ricoh.com/~marcush/
