Flush left alignment

Flush left text lines up along the left edge, while the right edge stays uneven, or "ragged". In the example, every line starts in the same place.

In left-to-right languages such as English, this is the easiest alignment to read, because the eye always returns to the same starting point. It is the default for body text and long content.

For right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the same idea applies in reverse: text should start from the right edge.
