I copied the snippet from this well-liked post. The snippet did not work for me on PC initially. It worked only when I separated the two parts of the code – this initial kink might have had to do with what custom settings of the theme I was using (probably Blue Topaz at the time).
In the meantime, following a discussion with Dune Theme creator @Jopp on GH, I came to the conclusion that no matter what we’re trying to do, justified text doesn’t work for me on iOS in Live Preview.
Does anybody else have this issue or have a solution?
Portrait mode work necessitates justifed text, especially in my native language with long words.
You could try adding a mobile selector to the css. This works in the default and Minimal themes.
/*- source view and live preview - mobile only -*/
.is-mobile .markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-line {
text-align: justify;
text-justify: inter-word;
}
Doesn’t work in default mode, Minimal Theme, or virgin vault. I detected the text alignment in the settings menu and was working in reading mode, but not in live preview or source mode.
Two remarks:
What’s that comma doing in the second part of your code (after is-mobile)? I tried deleting it and was having even less effect than before.
Again, tried applying only the mobile part (first part of your code) – nothing doing. No text alignment in the menu text or reading mode, either.
Thanks for your endeavors.
Not working. Only the menu text and reading mode are text aligned.
All in default theme, no plugins.
Yesterday I deleted the cache and reinstalled the app (not for this per se, for some other thing, but still, my Obsidian mobile environment is rather fresh).
The iPad mini is not a mobile, it is a tablet, with a screen resolution like a laptop’s.
The Material Flat Theme (that I was just fiddling with) has two Floating Button settings: one for mobile and one for desktop. When I toggle the mobile one, nothing happens. When I toggle the desktop, the intended action (for mobile) is activated (toggle is on or off).
AFAIK anything using the mobile Obsidian app (Android tablet, iPad, phone) can be targeted with .is-mobile. There’s another selector, .is-phone, that’s just for the portrait orientation parts of phone interfaces.
YKBTID (yaknowbetterthanido). It was mostly frustration talking. I mean it is supposed to be a simple thing. I solved far more difficult techie tasks in the last few months.
In my testing (same .css file synced via Obsidian Sync and enabled on mac and iPhone), .is-mobile isn’t necessary here for both desktop and mobile. Give this one a try - you can change justify to right to clearly see what’s going on.
/*- justify text in source/live preview/reading modes except in kanban -*/
.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-line, .markdown-rendered:not(.kanban) {
text-align: justify;
text-justify: inter-word;
}
