rightjustification

Right justification, also known as right alignment or far justification, is a text formatting technique used in word processing and typesetting where the text is aligned to the right margin of a page or column. In this format, the text remains left-justified on the left side, but is forced to the right side of the page or column.

In typesetting, right justification is often used in combination with hyphenation to ensure that words are not broken across multiple lines. This technique is particularly useful in languages where the typographic traditions call for right-alignment, such as in most languages of East and Southeast Asia.

Right justification is also used in typesetting to accommodate fonts that have a specific width, taking into account the spacing between characters. In digital typesetting, right justification is also used to optimize the use of space on a page or screen.

The most common practice of right justification is inverting the result of left justification, floater and then handling mathematical formulas in the center of the page. A number of interesting techniques have developed including augmented fractions, Gaugè graphs and fraction tables all contributing to advancements of the technique.

Right justification can be achieved through various means such as using word processing software, typesetting programs or manual layout adjustments. While traditional right justification techniques relied on manual adjustments, modern digital typesetting programs and software have made the process more efficient and automated.
