Tips & Warnings
HTML is a very precise science, so you must perform the steps with complete precision. If you get no effect, or if you get a stream of code-like characters showing up in your web page, go back and make sure you have every angle bracket (< and >) placed correctly.
Don't forget to close your center tag, or all your subsequent text will take be centered as well.
Though the center tag has not been phased out, more precise formatting can be achieved if you learn how to use a tool known as CSS style sheets, with the
text-alignproperty.
