This attribute sets the text-alignment of a block of text. Unlike the align attribute, it does not set the position of the text block. If align is specified but text-align isn't, the alignment of the text is also set by the align attribute - to override this set them both. The "justify-all" value causes the last line of the paragraph to be justified (whereas normal "justify" doesn't).
