HTML Explained

Text Alignment

Text may be grouped into paragraphs, where the whole paragraph may be left-aligned, right-aligned, or even centered. Paragraphs are specified with the <P> tag, and end of paragraph specified with the </P> end tag.

The ALIGN attribute of the <P> tag is used to align text to the LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER, as follows:

<P ALIGN="LEFT">Left Aligned</P>

Left Aligned

<P ALIGN="CENTER">Centered</P>

Centered

<P ALIGN="RIGHT">Right Aligned</P>

Right Aligned

In addition, there is one more tag which will ensure that everything which it surrounds is centered. That is the <CENTER> tag, and </CENTER> end tag, for example:

<CENTER>

<IMG SRC="whd-btn-ani.gif" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="25" ALT="Web Host Directory" BORDER="0">
</A>
<BR>
the Web Host Directory
</CENTER>

This produces the following, with text and hyperlinked images centered:
