I wonder though, why you would even want to print a book left
aligned. Some special reason?
Yes.
Seems you are lucky then, the answer is elsewhere in this thread.
Thanks for write me!
Excuse me for my English. I tried explain me.
Left align with "ugly" right border ( irregular )
make more easy to the eye find next line.
Indeed, but at a cost.
My publisher want left align with hyphenation
and indent for paragraph separation.
Hyphenation save a lot of pages.
Several magazines turn to this mode.
I have seen magazines do that, but then they usually have narrow
columns where good justification is impossible. Left align is
prettier than badly done justification.
I can see that Lyx, when I selected left align,
toogle from indent to skip.
Now, I am in problem with my publisher.
He said, "Drop Lyx, take PageMaker!".
Bad advice. ;-) If you try - you will find that pagemaker can easily
do some things that is hard in lyx. But also the converse - lyx, and
sometimes a few latex commands, can do things you'd be hard pressed
to do elsewhere.
I wrote a book in lyx, while my colleagues wrote books in framemaker.
We all got the work done, but I don't envy them some of the problems
they had. I don't remember all of it, but I shook my head sometimes . . .
