Dear comrades
I am a subliterate user, and was wondering if it was possible to
set user preferences so that the screen one is working on is not
justified on the right, but rather "ragged".
I noticed much discussion of justification in the past for the
printed material, but none for the screen.
It seems to me that with hyphenation and Tex, right justification
is great for printed material. But on the screen we do not look at
hypenated or texified material, so there is a lot of expanding and
contracting between lines - just the loathesome phenomenon Tex
gets past. I may be the only one on the planet,
but this tends to make me slightly ill, sort of seasick.
I would prefer then to see a
ragged right document in the user interface, if it is possible.
(I always tell students using Word and the like to turn off right
justification, though Word's typesetting seems better now, though
hardly latexlike.)
It may be that this is easy and I'm just not seeing how;
or it may be a deep consequence of the program that we get
right justification.
