This is the first line, so text-indent applies. But having a long line wrap to a constant position is doable. It is probably a lot more complicated than you need since you don't have to work with verse numbers nor a mixture of paragraphs with included poetry.

This is actual functioning CSS for formatting poetry in NIV Bible. This is line doxology as in the end of a book of Psalms: Amen and Amen This is line 3 and it is really a long line yes it is. Is there a way to get full justification on all lines except the last one using just css? I'm going to re-use the html code for the epub and publication on net, so I would like not to change the html code dramatically. The last one is a lot shorter than the other lines, and full justification on this line looks rediculous. I get justification on all lines, including the last one. I get the layout I want except for the justification of the lines. The is indented, and I would like to generate a pdf output that justifies all the lines except the last one.

In my html file, I have a lot of verses in this form: For the pdf edition I hope to go for a traditional fixed layout, but need a more re-flowable layout for the epub since it's impossible to design epubs for fixed screen dimensions. I'm working with a poetry book that shall be published both as epub and pdf.

How do you full justify text in html
