Here is a much more improved version of above code.

## @param alignment:title=Text alignment|type=enum|desc=Choose Text alignment.|enumValues=Right,Left,Center,Justify

#if ($paramalignment == "Right")

<style>
.txtAlgn{
text-align :right;
}
</style>

#elseif ($paramalignment == "Left")
<style>
.txtAlgn{
text-align :left;
}
</style>

#elseif ($paramalignment == "Center")
<style>
.txtAlgn{
text-align :center;
}
</style>

#elseif ($paramalignment == "Justify")
<style>
.txtAlgn{
text-align :justify;
}
</style>

#end

<div>
<p class="txtAlgn">
$body
</p>
</div>

Many thanks Alana, very useful! :)

I have tried both with some text. They partially works, so that if I write only a paragraph then it is correctly justified, otherwise if I write two or more paragraphs, then it doesn't justify text anymore.

For example see:

Anyway this macro is very useful and I appreciated a lot. Thanks :)

Hi Nico,

Adaptavist has created a server-version app that has this macro included:

Content Formatting Macros

If you're trying to do this on Cloud, I don't think it's possible.

Thank you Meg, I know about this plugin but it is not free. I need to write a user macro (very simple) only to justify text.

thank you anyway

I've found only that you can do this with the HTML macro utilizing justify code. 

Obviously it's possible since Adaptavist has figured it out, but I'm not able to assist with that.

thanks anyway :)
