In this justification method, the last line is not justified. distribute - Justification is handled similarly to the newspaper value, but this version is optimized for East Asian content (especially the Thai language).auto - The browser will determine the appropriate justification algorithm to use.Text-justify offers a fine level of justification control over the enclosed content, allowing for a variety of sophisticated justification models used in different language writing systems. The justify value from the text-align property must be set for this property to have any effect. Has anyone an idea, how I could achieve the above? By the way: A solution should preferably work without root rights to install, with PHP, Python, Perl, XSLT or any program found in a half-decent Linux distro.The text-justify property is used in CSS and certain HTML elements. Perhaps I have missed something really simple. Since there are characters like ellipses ('.') and typographically correct quotaion marks, it is quite cumbersome to tell groff in the XSLT stylesheet the escape sequences for dozens of Unicode characters.Īnother way could be conversion to TeX and output as plain text, but I have never tried this before with (La)TeX. I also experimented with HTML -> XSLT -> Roff, but I'm stuck with groff and its Unicode support is far from optimal.

They do as requested, but FOP's plain text output is horrible (the developers say, that it is not intended for such usage). But the justification of text is beyond its possibilities (not quite true, because XSLT is Turing complete, but close enough to reality).įOP and XSL-FO don't work either.

Simple plain text conversation I can do with XSLT, that's near to trivial. Also, the resulting text file must be UTF-8 or UTF-16. However, the text in paragraphs (read ' p elements') should be justified in the plain text view (to a certain amount of columns) and, if possible, hyphenated to give a better readable result. So far that's not a problem, there are dozens of HTML to txt converters.

I need a plain text representation of an arbitrary HTML file (e.g., a blog post).
