Additional css support (justify, first line, indent)

Are there any plans to add Justify (text-align:justify), first line selecting (E:first-line) or text indenting (text-indent) from the CSS 2.1 specs?
We are evaluating Oxygen, and so far these are the features we've identified that we need that aren't present. Any information I could take back to the team would be helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
We do not yet support these CSS properties, maybe this will be improved in a future Oxygen version but we have no such plans on the short-term.
In the meantime if you want to indent the first line of a paragraph
para for example you can use this workaround:
Code: Select all
para:before{
display:inline;
content: " ";
}
Regards,
Radu

What I'm really trying to do is a hanging indent.
Any thoughts on how to do that in the current version of Oxygen?

Hi Chris,
I understand the use-case but unfortunately I can give you no work around.
Oxygen is just an XML editor so the visual aspect of the edited content is not preserved when the document is published. But I understand that you want to edit the XML document looking as close as possible like the published content.

Radu

Has there been any movement on this issue in the intervening years? I have a client who is very upset at the apparent lack of support for hanging indent in the editor. Should I tell him that support is forthcoming? Or that it will not happen in the foreseeable future? Thanks.

Hi Paul,
We do not yet have handing indent implemented in Oxygen. I increased the priority of the issue, possibly if all goes well we'll try to approach this feature in Oxygen 17.1 (Autumn 2015).
