Re: "Justify"-like effect within text

We all know that text-align: justify; is supposed to justify the

And justification generally makes things worse, see

I have a friend, however, who wants to
take that further. - -
MARGIN| S O M E T E X T |MARGIN

I don't think there's a way to do that in "standard" CSS, but if your
friend is happy with something that works on IE 6, you could use

<div class="special">Some text</div>

with

..special { text-align: justify;
text-justify: distribute;
text-align-last: justify;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 0 3em; }

Well done!

some detail:

<style>
..special { text-align:justify;
text-justify:newspaper;
text-align-last:justify;
padding:0 5%;
margin:0 20%;
border:green solid 1px;}
</style>

<div class="special">Some text</div>

Is there any movement afoot to add something similar to CSS 3, as far
away as that may actually be? It seems like a useful feature.
