Align the Last Line of Text with This Little-Known CSS Trick

Did you know you can align just the last line of a paragraph?

Most developers are familiar with text-align. But there’s a lesser-known CSS property that gives you more control.

This lets you style the final line of text differently from the rest. Here’s how it works:

p {
	text-align: justify;
	text-align-last: end;
}

—> All lines are justified, except the last one, which aligns to the end.

The best part? A solid 95.28% across modern browsers. So yes, it’s production-ready.
