The text-align-last property in CSS is used to set the last line of the paragraph just before the line break. The line break may be due to the natural ending of a paragraph, or it may be due to the use of <br> tag. The text-align-last property sets the alignment of all the last lines occurring in the element in which the text-align-last property is applied. For example, if the text-align-last property is applied to the <p> element then, all the last lines of the <p> element will be affected by the text-align-last property.
