center

I am trying to center text that has a line going through the entire background. On either side of the text, there is some padding, where you cannot see the line at all. I am stumped as far as a good css-only way to go about this. Here is a jsfiddle that is obviously wrong, but its a start: http://jsfiddle.net/gtspk/ HTML <span class="line"> <h2>Latest Track</h2> </span> CSS .line{display:block; width:100%; border-bottom:1px solid red; margin-top:25px; text-align:center} .line h2{font-size:15px; text-align:center; position:relative; top:10px; padding:0 15px; display:inline-block; background

I'm using itextsharp to join mutiple pdf documents and add a footer. My code works fine - except for landscape pages - it isn't detecting the page rotation - the footer is not centerd for landscape: public static int AddPagesFromStream(Document document, PdfCopy pdfCopy, Stream m, bool addFooter, int detailPages, string footer, int footerPageNumOffset, int numPages, string pageLangString, string printLangString) { CreateFont(); try { m.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); var reader = new PdfReader(m); // get page count var pdfPages = reader.NumberOfPages; var i = 0; // add pages while (i < pdfPages) {

This question already has an answer here: Why is the <center> tag deprecated in HTML? 17 answers I read that the <center> tag is deprecated, however I cannot find any real equivalent to it in CSS. text-align works for text but not other elements, and auto margins only work if you know the width of the container (so not a solution if you don't know the width in advance). So is there any real equivalent to this <center> tag? Mike Crawford text-align should work for other kinds of elements. Does this work? .center { margin: auto; text-align: center; } Edit Three Years Later :-D "margin: auto;"

I am trying to center a paragraph tag with some text in it within a div, but I can't seem to center it using margin: 0 auto without having to specify a fixed width for the paragraph. I don't want to specify a fixed width, because I will have dynamic text coming into the paragraph tag and it will always be a different width based on how much text it is. Does anyone know how I can center the paragraph tag within the div without having to specify a fixed width for the paragraph or without using tables? Here's how to do it using a style sheet. Style sheet: div.center-content { text-align: center;
