Title: Balance text
Post by: jason_clark on August 11, 2026, 05:26:14 PM
I couldn't find any mention on here, but as a long time InDesign user looking at Scribus moving forward, a way of balancing the ragged edge of text paragraphs, like InDesign's 'Balance Ragged Lines' feature would be very welcome! It has an implementation in CSS which already works quite well (text-wrap: pretty or balance), though not yet fully supported. I'm unsure, but as XML is the Scribus format, would this be a relatively easy feature to introduce, referencing the CSS approach? Perhaps added where the optical alignment exists.
