How to prevent whitespace when line wraps?

Hi guys,

I have an issue at smaller screen sizes where because of a long word the line breaks and leaves a lot of whitespace. See below:

Is there anyway I can prevent this and ensure the lines are horizontally more even?

Thanks Joe

Hi Joe! Use the css property text-align: justify;

Hi pi R,

thanks for the suggestion.

That does work but the problem with using text-align: justify is that you end up getting wide letter spaces at random times in your text.

I was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do it.

Thanks Joe

UPDATE: It seems I was viewing my screen at around 200px anyway which is smaller than any device. Once I went up to around 320px it was wide enough to resolve the issue.

Thanks
