How to Make the Text to the Right With HTML Tags
Basic websites are written using hypertext markup language (HTML). The coding in HTML determines how text and images are displayed on the Web page. HTML syntax can tell the page to display such elements as color, size, fonts and position. Simply changing one element of the Web page can cause it to display text that is aligned to the right rather than the left side of the page.

Type the following code: <p style="text-align:right;">. The "p" stands for paragraph. This means you are starting a new paragraph style with text aligned to the right. Note: If the text you want to realign is already enclosed by the "p" tags, just change the code so that it appears as shown.

Enter the text directly after the bracket. All of the text entered within the given brackets will display on the right. Skip this step if you are moving text that already exists.
