Right Align Text
Push every line to the right edge of a set width.
Quick Tool Overview
Right Align Text pads each line with leading spaces until its last character sits at the width you set. A decimal alignment mode places the decimal point at a fixed column instead, which is what actually makes a column of currency figures line up.

About the Right Align Text
Right alignment in plain text is niche but genuinely useful where it applies: a receipt where the amounts have to line up, an email signature that sits against the right margin, a column of numbers in a code comment, or an ASCII layout where the labels are on the left and the values on the right.
Each line is padded with leading spaces until its last character sits at the width you set. Because numbers are the most common case, there is a mode that aligns on the decimal point rather than the line end, which is what makes a column of currency figures readable. Blank lines are left blank, and lines already longer than the width are reported rather than quietly overflowing.
Key features of the Right Align Text
Decimal point alignment
Aligns 9.99 and 124.50 on the point rather than the line end, which plain right alignment gets wrong.
Leading spaces only
No trailing whitespace is added, so nothing invisible is left at the end of a line.
Overlong lines reported
A line wider than the target is left intact and flagged rather than truncated or silently overflowing.
Blank lines preserved
Empty lines stay empty instead of becoming a run of padding spaces.
Works on any block
A two-line signature or a two-hundred-row receipt align the same way.

Frequently asked questions
Instead of aligning the end of each line, the decimal point of the number on it is placed at a fixed column. That is what makes 9.99 and 124.50 line up in a way that plain right alignment does not when the numbers have different decimal lengths.
It is left as it is and reported in the summary. Silently truncating would lose data, and silently overflowing would break the alignment without telling you.
No. Right alignment works entirely through leading spaces, so no invisible whitespace is left at the end of any line.
No. Space-based alignment only holds where every character is the same width, which means a monospaced font — a terminal, a code editor or a plain-text email.
