Text Formatting ⇒ Komascript full justification
Komascript full justification
Does anyone know how to make paragraph text fully aligned in Komascript. I want text to be flush on both right and left. I am not interest in anything that ends up with ragged right, nor with ragged left.

Full justification, both left and right, is the default. Take a look (click on "Open in Overleaf" if you like).
You may have a (perhaps implicit)

Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{scrartcl}\usepackage{blindtext}\begin{document}\section{Test}\blindtext\end{document}
\raggedright
in the code that disables the justification.Stefan

It could also be possible that you used
\centering
on the titlepage without proper grouping.The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Thanks, Stefan. That must be why when I looked in the Manual, it gave every option but that the default.
Thanks, again.

I think I had a centering left over from my front cover/ title page.

Yes, have a

\centering
always within curly braces { ... } or within an environment. An environment, such as figure or table, limits the effect of this command (any local command). Or one can use \begin{center} ... \end{center}
for centered text such as on the title page,Stefan

I had the package ragged2e but commented out. I removed it altogether. There were still bits of the text sticking into the right margin, and other parts not even reaching the margin. I decided to use \sloppy, which gave me exactly what I was looking for. I am hoping that there is no real drawback to this.

\sloppy
can fix it, though it may have a drawback that some inter word spaces may become to big with such enforced justification.There are ways to improve justification:
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\usepackage[english]{babel}% or choose your language\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}% important for hyphenation of words with accents\usepackage{microtype}% optimized justification via improved microtypography on character level
Code: Select all
\usepackage{lmodern}
\sloppy
, does it get better already?Stefan

I was using babel and fontenc already, but I added microtype and lmodern instead of \sloppy, and the justification became really good. I did not like the faint lmodern as it is not so good easy reading for public speaking. The font that I was using was sorceanspro. However, i am going through a few to find one that makes good contrasts between bold and normal, etc.Stefan Kottwitz wrote:Code: Select all

Thanks for the tip. I shall try to use \sloppy sparingly, and concentrate on finding a font that works for my purposes instead. That way, I might not need \sloppy at all. Thanks for your advice.

Tried several different fonts now, without \sloppy but with microtype. Works like it should! Thanks, Stefan
