TLDR: prose-p:text-justify is included in the Astro Recipe and can be removed to fix text spacing issues.
When creating this blog I used a helpful recipe from the Astro Docs. It worked great and I though nothing of it, but as I was working on a recent post (shameless self-plug: Team Send: Informal Team Communication) I noticed the text spacing was off.
For most text it looks fine - I’d almost say it looks better, but when the spacing is off, it’s hard to ignore. The culprit is text-align: justify; which I innitially thought was a Tailwind Typography default. I was wrong. It turns out it is included in the Astro recipe. prose-p:text-justify is the class causing the issue and can be removed to fix the spacing.
Maybe it’s just the font I’m using, but it’s a somewhat questionable class to include in the recipe. It’s not a huge error, but it is time wasted debugging something that shouldn’t have been an issue. Hopefully this saves someone else some time. Cheers!
