Usage

edit
Markup Renders as
{{Center|Hello world!}}
Hello world!

To do this without a template, simply use the following code:

<div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">...</div>

To center a table, see Help:TABLECENTER.

Notes:

  • If the markup to be centered includes an equals sign, the markup must be preceded by 1=. Example: {{Center|1=the <span style="color:red">red</span> one}}.
  • If the markup to be centered includes a displaying pipe, the pipe must be escaped as {{!}} or &#124;.
