Justifying text in dev.to; You Cannot!

Text justification in posts is currently not supported, and attempts to use HTML tags for this purpose are unsuccessful.

For example, this method does not achieve text justification:

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your text intended to be justified here will not align as expected. Ideally, text should align evenly along both the left and right margins, but this outcome is not achieved with the current setup.
</div>

Similarly, this approach also fails:

<p style="text-align: justify;">
Your text intended to be justified here will not achieve the desired fully justified alignment, where text is evenly aligned with both margins.
</p>

This limitation can be particularly frustrating for those who are used to academic formatting standards. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any documentation or online resources that offer a solution.

I am just writing to let you know :)))

It would be greatly beneficial if this feature were introduced shortly. Ideally, it could be implemented into the HTML template section, allowing for optional activation in each post to accommodate varying preferences.

HTML

<div class="justify">
<p>
Amit ampun Nya paralun. Agungna ka wujud Gusti nu Maha Suci. Jembarna ka para laluhur sabudér Awun. Ka Ibu Agung ka Rama Agung. Ka Ibu anu henteu muguran. Ka Rama anu henteu munggaran. Deheusna ka Ibu Rama nu jadi cukang lantaran urang gumelar di pawenangan. Nyanggakeun sadaya-daya sasaji sapuratina ngampi sari na parasa pangasih ti Ibu Pertiwi. Bumi Agung, Bumi Alit, silokaning pusaka diri. Pami ka manungsa nu sarasa, nu sasaji. Titiswaris nu sajati.
</p>
</div>

Hi Bayu,
Thank you for your help, but where should we put the style?
it usually goes into a CSS file and we use the <link /> tag, or it should be in a <style></style> tag which is not allowed in posts apparently :(
