justify(2m)

NAME

justify - Justification Mode

SYNOPSIS

justify Mode

J - mode line letter.

DESCRIPTION

justify mode, when enabled, performs paragraph justification as designated by $fill-mode(5) - capable of left, right, both or center justification of text. Justify removes all white spaces at the end of the line, if there are no non-white characters on the line then the line is always left empty. If the justification method is center or right then all white spaces are removed at the beginning of the line. If the line is longer than the $buffer-fill-col(5) or the method is left then nothing more is done, else the line is appropriately justified. The method used is set by the variable $buffer-fill-mode(5). Justify is usually used in conjunction with wrap(2m) and indent(2m).
