Template:Center/s

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template center-aligns text. For example,

Example

{{center|'''Example text'''}}

Example text

Other parameters

style

Where there is a need to specify the style of text for the whole <div>...</div> item, an optional style parameter can be used.

This can be useful when the body of the template is not a single inline item but a multi-paragraph structure. If the formatting in question has a "block" template, you can also nest that inside or outside the {{center}} template:

The following solutions are then applicable.

Option 1

{{center|style=font-family:serif;|
Title of the work

by

Author of the work
}}

yields

Title of the work

by

Author of the work

Option 2 (block template)

{{center|{{serif block|
<!--or {{serif block|{{center| -->
Title of the work

by

Author of the work
}}}}

yields

Title of the work

by

Author of the work

Option 3 (if block template not available)

{{center|
{{serif|Title of the work}}

{{serif|by}}

{{serif|Author of the work}}
}}

yields

Title of the work

by

Author of the work

Start and end templates

Another block method is to use the paired start and end templates {{c/s}} (center start) and {{c/e}} (center end):

Example

{{c/s}}
{{uc|Title of the work}}

{{sc|Subtitle by Author}}
{{c/e}}

Title of the work

Subtitle by Author

The {{c/s}} template accepts the same parameters as {{center}} (e.g., style=font-family: serif;, width=50%, nomargin=yes).

Redirects

• {{c}}

Tracking categories

• Category:Pages using center with no text argument—Pages where the template is called with no text or first argument, typically because the content contains an = or otherwise confuses the parser

• Template:Block center
• Template:Center block
