Text paragraph width changes on mobile

I think it is probably time for a Dear Xara...

The applications are extolled in http://www.xara.com/uk/designer-pro/features/ as "It's the world's most advanced WYSIWYG web page creator - and with no HTML skills required!"
Not 100% factual; Xara falls down with centring and fully justified text blocks.

We are having to cover too many fudges for the kludges.

POSSIBLE APPROACHES

1. Detect centred or fully justified --> add HTMLBlockText to the text block automatically. Not WYSIWYG but has a decent explanation.
2. Set the SPANs to the DIV width and adjust each SPAN's font sizing with CSS's letter-spacing. Not WYSIWYG but would be to within close pixel positioning. WebKit now supports sub-pixel letter-spacing: such an approach is used on tracked text in Xara applications where the end result uses letter-spacing.
3. Any others?

Does Xara allow you to see the site HTML and allow you to edit the code or add to it? If so, where is that feature located?

Mike, Xara allows you to see the code as View Source in their Preview. You cannot change it. You can only augment code through adding it in Placeholders.

OK. Thanks. View source is a part of every browser (IE, Chome, Firefox, etc), just named something a little different for each one.

I understand that Xara is more of a hands-off-code WYSIWYG program that is mostly used for design and just happens to have web design features. I get that. I just wish, because Xara is such a good DESIGN tool for websites, that it also had a few of the more hardcore website IDE features that other website software has that allows you to design AND code.
