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
