What is the issue with the HTML Standard?
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#flow-content-3
The
divelement, when it has an align attribute whose value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "justify", is expected to full-justify text within itself, as if it had its 'text-align' property set to 'justify' in a presentational hint, and to align descendants to the left.
However, all browsers I tested (Gecko, Blink, WebKit, Servo 2013) align to the start side, not to the left side. Testcase:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div align="justify" style="border: solid; direction: rtl">
<div style="width: 150px; background: cyan">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
</div>
</div>The cyan box appears on the right, not on the left. I think the spec should be changed to reflect reality?
