[HELP] Explicit text alignment in wikis?
Can anyone explain what does "Explicit text alignment" mean, exactly?
Does it mean that all text paragraphs have the same alignment in Wiki
articles?
Thanks, Tal.
Full string: "Explicit text alignment should not be used in Wiki articles.
Nevertheless, text alignment is supported for left, centered, and right
alignment of text." (ref.
https://translate.apache.org/he/aoo40/translate/swext/mediawiki/help.po#unit=14877896
)

In that case, Nikolai may be right, after all :)
Thanks Rob, Nikolai.

Thank you Andrea, Rob, Nikolai. I'll randomly pick an explanation :)

I interpret it the same way: the sentence means that it is bad practice
to set a paragraph's alignment (left, center, or right; but also
justified for that matter) by specifying the corresponding HTML or Wiki
markup code. This is best let to the Wiki engine, so it's better not to
specify it in the page.
That said, I'm not sure of the status of the Mediawiki extension; I
never used it, but I'm not even sure that we still bundle it, or maybe
we bundle it as an optional component, didn't check.
Regards,
Andrea.

That would be an odd way to express this in English.
When I think of "explicit text alignment" I think of alignment that
happens because you explicitly set left/right/center alignment using
the toolbar. You set alignment explicitly for a text selection.
The opposite (implicit alignment) would be to define alignment as part
of a style definition.
Note: I don't know if this is what this string means in the product,
but that would be the typical meaning. But as we know the English
strings in AOO are sometimes written by non-native English speakers.
Regards,
-Rob

Thanks Nikolai, you mean justified alignment.
Any other opinions by other members, what "Explicit text alignment" means?

I think here they have given meaning "full text alignment", alignment on
both sides - left and right.
