Hi @mixeme,

It would be better that a rendered page view has text align width by default.

To be honest, I don't understand what that actually means at all. Could you explain the desire/request further?

Yes. I have difficulties with terminology in this field. Let's adopt, for example, terminology used in this document. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/fonts-layout/text-justification

Currently, it is used text alignment "Align Left". I proposed to use "Justify" option by default for page views.

Hi @mixeme,

For that you could add the following to the "Custom HTML Head Content" customization in your BookStack settings:

<style>
  .page-content { text-align: justify; }
</style>

Could you explain with more details? Where does this code should be inserted?

@mixeme I'm referencing the customization setting shown here (this particular setting is at the bottom of the "Customization" setting page):

Thank you! It helped me. However, I think such a common modification should be at least added to the documentation, if you don't want to switch this by default (as is in real books that inspired BookStack).

@mixeme Good to hear that worked! I'll therefore close this off.

I can't remember getting this request before in the 8.5 years of having publicly shared BookStack, so I don't think it's anywhere near common enough to justify being in the documentation.
