Lorem  ipsum dolor  sit   amet, consectetur  adipiscing
elit,  sed do eiusmod  tempor incididunt  ut  labore et
dolore  magna  aliqua.  Ut  enim ad minim  veniam, quis
nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex
ea  commodo consequat.  Duis    aute  irure    dolor in

Options

See word-wrap for additional options beyond the following.

options.width

Type: number

Default: 55

Set the maximum width for the justified text.

options.indent

Type: number

Default: 0

Add the specified number of spaces (left padding) before each line in the given string.

options.random

Type: function

Default: a pseudo-random function is used to provide the appearance of randomization. The purpose of this is to ensure that whitespace doesn't appear to be somewhat "aligned" in columns on the left or right side of the text (which is distracting to readers), whilst also making the result technically predictable so that you're not getting a different result every time you call the "justified" function.

options.justifyLastLine

Type: boolean|function

Default: false

The last line in the string is not justified by default.
