[markdown] How to right-align and justify-align in Markdown?

Markdown text is always left-aligned. Is there a way to do right-align and justification in Markdown?

To be precise, I'm using Markdown in Jupyter Notebook (IPython).

Specific to your usage of a Jupyter Notebook: the ability to specify table column alignment should return in a future release. (Current releases default to right-aligned everywhere.)

From PR #4130:

Allow markdown tables to specify their alignment with the :--, :--:, --: syntax while still allowing --- to default to right alignment.

This reverts a previous change (part of #2534) that stripped the alignment information from the rendered HTML coming out of the marked renderer. To be clear this does not change the right alignment default but does bring back support for overriding this alignment per column by using the gfm table alignment syntax.

...

As mentioned here, markdown do not support right aligned text or blocks. But the HTML result does it, via Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

On my Jekyll Blog is use a syntax which works in markdown as well. To "terminate" a block use two spaces at the end or two times new line.

Of course you can also add a css-class with {: .right } instead of {: style="text-align: right" }.

Text to right

{: style="text-align: right" }
This text is on the right

Text as block

{: style="text-align: justify" }
This text is a block

I used

<p align='right'>Farhan Khan</p>

and it worked for me on Google Colaboratory. Funnily enough it does not work anywhere else?

If you want to use justify align in Jupyter Notebook use the following syntax:

<p style='text-align: justify;'> Your Text </p>

For right alignment:

<p style='text-align: right;'> Your Text </p>

If you want to use this answer, I found out that when you are using MacDown on MacOs, you can <div style="text-align: justify"> at the beginning of the document to justify all text and keep all code formating. Maybe it works on other editors too, for you to try ;)

If you want to right-align in a form, you can try:

| Option | Description |
| ------:| -----------:|
| data   | path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default. |
| ext    | extension to be used for dest files. |

In a generic Markdown document, use:

<style>body {text-align: right}</style>

or

<style>body {text-align: justify}</style>

Does not seem to work with Jupyter though.
