ragged-right
Left-aligned text edge
Ragged-right describes text aligned flush against the left margin, with the right edge left uneven—each line ending wherever the words naturally fall.
This is the default in most word processing and the standard for casual documents.
The opposite, ragged-left, aligns text to the right margin.
Fully justified text aligns both edges.
