This plugin does exactly what it promises, it restores the justify option to paragraph blocks inside the WordPress editor with no extra settings needed. It just works.And it’s one of the lightest plugins I have seen in a long time.We should have been given the choice on WordPress natively, and now, we do. And beautifully so, with a dedicated icon on the toolbar that even changes its styling when it has been applied.Brilliant work.Thank you for creating this!
