Sweet Justice: beautiful justified text.

Include this file at the bottom of your pages and it will hyphenate and justify your text. The script pays attention to elements with any of these three CSS classes:

sweet-justice: Hyphenated and justified sweet-hypens: Hyphenation only justice-denied: No hypens or justification. This is useful for child nodes.

Hyphenation is accomplished by inserting soft hyphen characters (0x00AD) into long words.

Requires either jQuery or YUI3.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"This is just terrible." -- globally_unique_id

"A nice idea, but unusable." -- eleven3

"honestly i'm glad the web doesn't have great support for justified text" -- jawbroken
