text-direction: ltr ;
text-align: justify ;

If you have a 1 line paragraph that does not fill the whole line then the default behavior is to have the paragraph flush left.

After I added
text-align-last: right

I got the expected behavior of the short line starting on the right side.

I was surprised that the text-direction: ltr didn't handle this situation they way I expected.

It could be that I haven't read the spec on this.

does not work ... I had to add the
text-align: justify ;
text-align-last: right ;
to

p {

text-align: justify ;
text-align-last: right ;
font-style: normal ;
margin: 0 ;
page-break-inside: auto ;
}


I that it should inherit.

I'm not sure what the issue is here. There is no "text-direction" property, only a "direction" property, and "ltr" is the default value.

Thank you for catching my error. Works much better.
