Rag Adjust

A bit of JavaScript to automatically fix the rag of any body of text. Where you allow your lines to break in a block of text can be very important for readability, and quite tricky within a fluid layout. With this script you can set how and where you want your lines to break, creating a much more pleasing text rag.

Setup

First, link to the script in your HTML.

<script src="./js/ragadjust.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</body>
</html>

Then, in your own JavaScript, set the parameters:

<script src="./js/ragadjust.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

	ragadjust('p, li, dd', 'all');

</script>

</body>
</html>

Parameters

There are only two parameters to set:

ragadjust(elements, method);
  • Elements – A CSS selector list of the elements you wish to modify.
  • Method – Choose which rag-adjust method you want to employ.
    • emphasis – Text of three or less words in bold or italics does not break across lines.
    • small-words – Breaks lines before words of three or less characters.
    • prepositions – Breaks lines before prepositions.
    • dashes – Breaks lines before hyphens and dashes.

Support

Rag Adjust will work in all modern browsers and IE8+.
