Frequently Asked Questions
Email clients often use proportional fonts where characters have different widths. Right alignment with spaces only works in monospaced fonts. Try pasting your text in a code block or use an email client that supports preformatted text.
Common choices are 80 characters (classic terminal width), 120 characters (modern wide terminals), or match your document's existing width. For code comments, use your team's line length standard (often 80 or 100 characters).
Process only the lines you want right-aligned, then manually combine them with your left-aligned content. Some layouts benefit from mixing alignments, especially in multi-column text or headers versus body content.
For decimal alignment, ensure all numbers have the same decimal places (add trailing zeros if needed), then right-align. Since all numbers will have equal characters after the decimal, the points will align perfectly.
Basic right alignment works with most Unicode text, but some characters (emojis, combining characters, CJK characters) may have different display widths than their character count suggests, potentially affecting alignment.
