== Description ==
It is to center elements on a page. See also [[Template:Align]] for more options and flexibility.

== Usage ==
{{See also|Wikipedia:Span and div}}
{{markup
| <nowiki>{{Center|Hello world!}}</nowiki>
| {{Center|Hello world!}}
}}

To do this without a template, simply use the following code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="HTML">
<div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">...</div>
</syntaxhighlight>
To center a table, see [[Wikipedia:Help:TABLECENTER|Help:TABLECENTER]].

=== Tables ===
Using {{tlc|left}} / {{tlc|center}} / {{tlc|right}}
{| class="wikitable"
!colspan="3" style="width:300px"| Header text
|-
| {{Left|Left}} || {{Center|Center}} || {{Right|Right}}
|}
Using {{tlc|align|left}} / {{tlc|align|center}} / {{tlc|align|right}}
{| class="wikitable"
!colspan="3" style="width:300px"| Header text
|-
| {{align|left|Left}} || {{align|center|Center}} || {{align|right|Right}}
|}
