Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: More justify

[Ian Castle <ian dot castle at coldcomfortfarm dot net>]

%default-quadding% (for the html stylesheets) specifies the value of the
"ALIGN" attribute of the <P> tag in the HTML. i.e it is not a DSSSL
attribute!

It defaults to "#f" which means "don't generate an align tag at all"

otherwise it can be

"left", "center", "right", "justify".

So you should have
  
   (define %default-quadding% "left")

which will cause the paragraph to be generated with <P ALIGN="left">

Of course, you should, nowadays, use CSS to set an appropriate attribute
with a stylesheet:

(define %stylesheet%
  ;; Name of the stylesheet to use
  "style.css")

(define %css-decoration%
  ;; Enable CSS decoration of elements
  #t)

and leave %default-quadding% as #f.

But it begs the question why you paragraphs are justified!
