Right Justify

To remove formatting, select text and choose Format » Remove Formatting.
CityDesk's article editor intentionally provides only basic formatting features in articles, because articles get most of their formatting from the templates that they are merged with. You probably don't want every article on your site to use a different font family, for example. In CityDesk things like the font family come from from the template, so that you don't have to format each article: you can set up the page format in the template once and every article that uses that template will look the same.
For more precise control over formatting, for example, fonts, line spacing, borders, background colors, margins, and page layout features, modify the template which your article is using. See Creating and Editing Templates.
