hebrew environment is centred in sblessay class

[David Purton]

The following example results in centred Hebrew instead of right aligned Hebrew:

\documentclass{sblessay}
\begin{document}
\begin{hebrew}
בראשית ברא \\
אלהים
\end{hebrew}
\end{document}

The problem does not occur using the ridleyessay class.

I'm also getting the same from sblessay.cls alone. The problem is not present in ridleyessay.cls on mine either.

David, I went through ridleyessay and started blocking things out until I got the Hebrew environment to center. Apparently, it is the \justifying command. Here is how is the code as I was blocking things out:

%\newif\ifridley@usetimes

%\DeclareOption{times}{%
% \ridley@usetimestrue}
%\DeclareOption{notimes}{%
% \ridley@usetimesfalse}
\DeclareOption*{%
  \PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{sblessay}%
}
\ProcessOptions\relax

% Load sblessay.cls
%\ifridley@usetimes
  \LoadClass[times]{sblessay}
%\else
% \LoadClass[notimes]{sblessay}
%\fi

% sblref options (singlequotes,punctuationoutsidequotes)
\def\sblstartquote{\sblsinglestartquote}
\def\sblendquote{\sblsingleendquote}
\def\endtitle{\sblendquote,}
\def\endbibtitle{\sblendquote.}
%\punctoutsidetrue

% text layout
\justifying
%\if@twoside
% \geometry{inner=1.5in}
%\else
% \geometry{left=1.5in}
%\fi
\makeFNmid

I hope this helps.

Yes—I'm having the same problem. You can achieve the same results as above by removing the raggedright section from the sblessay class. Of course, both of these fixes make your essay justified, which, at least in my case, isn't acceptable.

Still working on a fix.

Thanks for the update, Jack.
