align = ...
Specifies both horizontal and vertical alignment for a markup element.
Applies to...
span, box, and other related markup tags
For a box tag, alignment applies to the contents of the box. For other tags, alignment may apply to the element itself, depending on the specific element. Most non-box elements do not support vertical alignment. For these, only horizontal alignment should be specified.
Usage
This field takes one or more text values as follows:
align={horizontal value}, {vertical value}
...or...
align={horizontal value}
For horizontal value, the following values are valid:
| horizontal value | interpretation |
|---|---|
| null | Leaves the horizontal alignment unspecified. |
| {left} | Content aligned against left margin, and ragged on the right. |
| {right} | Content aligned against right margin, and ragged on the left. |
| {center} | Content is centred; text is ragged on both sides. |
| {justify} | Text is aligned on both sides. |
For vertical value, the following values are valid:
| vertical value | interpretation |
|---|---|
| null | Leaves the vertical alignment unspecified. |
| {top} | Content aligned to the top. This may be relative to the container or relative to surrounding elements; the meaning depends on the tag it is applied to. |
| {middle} | Content aligned to a common vertical centre. (The same caveat as for {top} applies.) |
| {bottom} | Content is aligned to the bottom. (The same caveat as for {top} applies.) |
