PTXprint — Justify Paragraphs for Text

Question

Greetings!
I always update to the latest PTXprint version, because it is simple and useful. Now I’m working on Acts, it is in Burmese scripts.
Justify Paragraphs – is only working on introduction, but not working on the Text, i.e. chapters 1 through 28.
Somebody can help me to resolve it. Appreciate it.

Hi @anon952029 - Yes, the PTXprint community site is monitored a bit more closely for any future requests about PTXprint.

There are a couple of places I would check to see that you’ve got the right settings. (1) The Fonts+Scripts tab. Make sure you are using Full View (otherwise some of these advanced settings won’t even appear for you).

I don’t think you need to set the Line break Locale if you are using the Additional Script Setting and have “Syllable line breaking” turned on. But try it both ways to see what difference it makes.

And then on (2) Body tab, make sure that Justify Paragraphs is enabled:

After that, all the usual Style things apply (as @mnjames has already pointed out above).

If you are still struggling to make it behave as you need it to, then please send a small archive file as explained on the Help tab:

Answer 2

Questions about PTXprint might better be asked on PTXprint - SIL Scripture Software Community

Look under Styles and then under Paragraph and then under Alignment. Is it also set to Justified?

If I remember correctly, the Paragraph style isn’t actually used and all the paragraph level settings are controlled by settings in other tabs within PTXprint, so it’s likely that’s not the fix. However, it does make me wonder if you’re using other stylesheets which are overruling the settings. Are you using custom.sty or ptxprint-mods.sty (see under Advanced)?

Will do next time, sometimes my VPN works and sometimes doesn’t work. That is one of my problems too.
