Difference between text-align: end and right

Question

What is the difference between text-align: end; and text-align: right;?

When I use either one I get the same result, but is there any differences?

Answer 1

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/text-align:

• end
  The same as right if direction is left-to-right and left if direction is right-to-left.

• right
  The inline contents are aligned to the right edge of the line box.

Basically you use end in tandem to direction: [rtl|ltr] and end will adjust accordingly, whereas right will always keep your text to the right no matter what direction you set.

.end {
  text-align: end;
}
.right {
  text-align: right;
}
.dir-ltr {
  direction: ltr;
}
.dir-rtl {
  direction: rtl;
}

<div class="dir-ltr end">
  End alignment in left-to-right direction
</div>
<div class="dir-rtl end">
  End alignment in right-to-left direction
</div>
<div class="dir-ltr right">
  Right alignment in left-to-right direction
</div>
<div class="dir-rtl right">
  Right alignment in right-to-left direction
</div>
