Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Alignment

Centering titles
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 Here is the coding with a border, which will not be shown in the coding, so you can see the alignment:  This title is centered This title is centered
 * This attribute works for headings, paragraphs and div tags.

Right or Left
This alignment attribute also can be for to the left or right like so: Here is the coding:  This title is on the right This title is on the right Here is the coding:  This title is on the left This title is on the left text-align: right text-align: left

Up or down
We can center text in a box but how do we place the text in the middle of a box? How do we get the text to be equal distance from the top and the bottom. We use the line-height attribute. Make the line height equal to the height of the box and it will automatically place the text in the middle of the box.  This title is in the middle
