Centering titles[edit | edit source]

Often you may want to center a title rather than allow it to remain in the default position on the left. So how do you center a title?

We use the attribute:

text-align:center

  • This attribute works for headings, paragraphs and div tags.

Here is the coding with a border, which will not be shown in the coding, so you can see the alignment:

<div style="text-align:center">This title is centered</div>

This title is centered

Right or Left[edit | edit source]

This alignment attribute also can be for to the left or right like so:

Here is the coding:

<div style="text-align:right">This title is on the right</div>

This title is on the right

Here is the coding:

<div style="text-align:left">This title is on the left</div>

This title is on the left

text-align:right
text-align:left

Alignment by default is to the left, but there are occasions when something is on the right and you want it on the left side of the page.
