Text Justification

will84

Hello Folks,

 

What are your thoughts on having Justified text, or non justified text for your projects?. The first book I published, I had the text nicely square, but had differing spaces in between some words. I am nearly ready to publish my second book now, and having second thoughts on using this approach again for this new project. Evenly spaced words looks pleasing also, eep dilemma.

Most printed fiction books released by commercial publishing houses are justified, if that helps.

One thing that might help with the spacing is hyphenation, though you might want to set it so the number of consecutive lines that can be hyphenated is limited.

I agree. My first book was justified and looks nice but there are spaces in some places. I forgot to just hyphenation. I have found many books that use this. Or sometimes they just rewrite it so the spaces are removed.

You often get those large gaps between words if you have too many words on a line because the font is too large for the page size, and/or the margins are too large for the page size. It also does not help if you have a lot of long words on each line.

 

BTW. Don't use hyphenate in files for e-books.

You know, I think my text speaks for itself, and I don't need to justify it to anyone.

 

 

 

Oh, *that* kind of justification. Never mind...
