How is that going to make the lines shorter?
Sorry if I was unclear but what I mean is that I am reading plain text
and with the small fonts I favor, the lines are so long on the new 1080p
screens that I often have problems keeping my eye level with them. So
I was thinking of reformatting these pages along the lines of what you
commonly see in newspapers.
Take for instance:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing 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 reprehenderit in voluptate
velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint
occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt
mollit anim id est laborum.
versus:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consequat. Duis aute irure dolor
consectetur adipisicing elit, sed in reprehenderit in voluptate
do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat
labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint
enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud occaecat cupidatat non proident,
exercitation ullamco laboris nisi sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt
ut aliquip ex ea commodo mollit anim id est laborum.
Not very useful here, since the lines in my MUA are limited to 72
columns and obviously the justification does not play well with a fixed
width font, but hopefully the above example will clarify.

I installed the ‘Stylish’ addon, and hunted down a couple of ‘user
styles’ that looked like they might do what I want.. It turned out they
did not do anything that I could see.
I know next to nothing about web browser technology, so it may very well
be that I what I had in mind is not possible. :-(
