There is some documentation for the MediaWiki syntax at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing and
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_editing
... but, as far as I know, MediaWiki markup itself does not let you
adjust the alignment of text (except in tables). However, MediaWiki does
let you use (a subset of) HTML and CSS, which can easily do what you want:
<div style="text-align:right;">
This text will be aligned to the right.
</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">
This text will be justified.
</div>
