Hyphenation and justification

abbr. H&J
In QuarkXpress and other page layout tools, it is possible to set hyphenation and justification preferences for blocks of type via specific style sheets. These settings can be crucial for good typography, as blocks of type within different widths of columns and at different font sizes, need to be controlled to avoid visual flaws such as rivers, widows and orphans.
