Invisible Line - The only text editor to create the line with the text around

After reading your instruction, I'm still not sure about the benefit of this product?

@nguy_n_hung_tu_n1 The first thing that comes to mind is that you can create a visual cue with this. @threebu_ Would be cool if the line can also be tilted left or right. That way you can better guide the attention of your visitors into a certain direction, similar to gaze following.

@nguy_n_hung_tu_n1 Is an experimental way to align the text. The final product is a png file to download or share. It is also possible to download and reuse the plugin on your site. I think it may be interesting especially to lay out poems and songs. Or just for fun :)

The idea of Invisible Line comes from reading "Thinking with type" (2004 - Ellen Lupton): immersed in reading the text alignment chapter, suddenly a image appears to me, a shock! I discover that two geniuses have written an entire book aligning the text so that it is formed an invisible line throughout the paragraph! Wow! Amazing! The book is titled "Informal" (2002), the two genes are Cecil Balmond and Jannuzzi Smith, the technique used is called "Flush left and flush right". Invisible Line try to replicate this technique on the web, proposing new possibilities for aligning the texts. Invisible line is a little text-editor, the possible alignments replicate the traditional ones: centered, justified, left and right. You can move the position of the invisible line by simply clicking on the text, where you want to get the division. You can also apply 4 different styles to the text, download it in png format or share it in the web. Invisible Line is also a downloadable Jquery plugin. Download, instructions and a tool to generate the code are available on the site. Have fun;)

@peteliev Thanks! In fact there is no similar editor;) To try it, go to the site, click on edit text to insert your text, you can customize the title and paragraph. Once the text is inserted you can move the line, choose the alignment and one of the four available styles. When you are finished you can download the png image or share your personal url with the modified text.
