HTML <center> tag
When writing in HTML (hypertext markup language), the <center> tag was used to contain both block-level and inline elements on a web page. Anything contained in the <center> tags would be aligned with the middle of the page. The following sections contain information about this tag, including an example of it in use and related attributes and browser compatibility.
The <center> tag is deprecated. From now on, use the CSS (cascading style sheets) "text-align" property to center elements.
Example of <center> code
<center>Notice that this text is in the middle of the page.</center>
Example result
Notice that this text is in the middle of the page.
Attributes
An attribute dictates certain aspects of an HTML element within an HTML tag. Attributes are made up of a name and value pair. While the <center> tag has no unique attributes, it utilizes all the standard attributes until it's removed in a future version of HTML.
