When setting ragged text with a computer, take a moment to refine your software’s understanding of what constitutes an honest rag. Many programs are predisposed to invoke a minimum as well as a maximum line.

Ragged setting under these conditions produces an orderly ripple down the righthand side, making the text look like a neatly pinched piecrust. —Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typography
