Line breaks and paragraph justification
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 7:12 am
Is it possible to insert a line break (insert > breaks > line break) in a justified paragraph and have the line before the line break not aligned to the right side of the page?
The reason is, I want to have a narrow space between several "Citation" style paragraphs (each only one or two lines) yet keep a wider space after the last item in the series and the following "Body" style paragraph. Using a line break would allow me to do this, but then I end up with the last line of each Citation paragraph being aligned to the right side of the page and words too far spaced out.
An alternative would be to create two styles, Citation and Citation-last, but that seems like a hack worthy of MSWord. Or is it possible to request something like the :first-of-type and :last-of-type pseudo-classes for paragraph styles, as in CSS3?
