How can I justify text?

[MahRodrigues]

Hi there! I'm just getting started on this theme, which seems wonderful by the way. I'd love to know how to shift it so all texts (at least the "baseline" text) are justified instead of left-aligned. Any ideas? Thank you much!

You can add the cssclass writing to the note, and you get formatting specific for writing, including justified content (how those notes look like can be customized with the style settings plugin.)

If you want to have justified text throughout the whole vault, you can add this css snippet:

.cm-contentContainer, p {
	hyphens: auto;
	text-align: justify;
}

I apologize profusely for unmarking as answered, I'm not sure if you get a notification otherwise. Thank you so much for the swift response!

I managed to make it work but it only works for the writing/editing mode. Is there any way to make it work as well for reading mode? Sorry, in the above, I meant writing as in general writing, not just the editing bits.

(Brazilian here, it can get a bit difficult to properly think things through in English lmao)

No worries, I get notifications regardless.

Both methods outlined above result in justified text for me, across all modes (reading mode, live preview, and source mode.)

If it does not work for you, you likely have a plugin or css snippet of yours interfering. in that case, disable your snippets/plugins one-by-one until you find the culprit. Or a very outdated Obsidian version.

Sorry for the wait, had an incredibly busy day yesterday. I had it in mind to tell you my vault is new, and I only have two plugins, so I didn't really know what could possibly be the issue, but.......... I started the vault this morning and it all works? Mysteries of computer science.

In all seriousness, thank you much! If any further issue arises, since I'm starting a vault anew, I'll just do that once more. Few files to transfer still.

Valeu!
