Align text lines css

text-align

The text-align CSS property sets the horizontal alignment of the inline-level content inside a block element or table-cell box. This means it works like vertical-align but in the horizontal direction.

Try it

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ text-align: start; text-align: end; text-align: left; text-align: right; text-align: center; text-align: justify; text-align: justify-all; text-align: match-parent; /* Character-based alignment in a table column */ text-align: "."; text-align: "." center; /* Block alignment values (Non-standard syntax) */ text-align: -moz-center; text-align: -webkit-center; /* Global values */ text-align: inherit; text-align: initial; text-align: revert; text-align: revert-layer; text-align: unset;

The text-align property is specified in one of the following ways:

• Using the keyword values start , end , left , right , center , justify , justify-all , or match-parent .
• Using a value only, in which case the other value defaults to right .
• Using both a keyword value and a value.

Values

The same as left if direction is left-to-right and right if direction is right-to-left.

The same as right if direction is left-to-right and left if direction is right-to-left.

The inline contents are aligned to the left edge of the line box.

The inline contents are aligned to the right edge of the line box.

The inline contents are centered within the line box.

The inline contents are justified. Text should be spaced to line up its left and right edges to the left and right edges of the line box, except for the last line.

Same as justify , but also forces the last line to be justified.

Similar to inherit , but the values start and end are calculated according to the parent’s direction and are replaced by the appropriate left or right value.

When applied to a table cell, specifies the alignment character around which the cell’s contents will align.

Accessibility concerns

The inconsistent spacing between words created by justified text can be problematic for people with cognitive concerns such as Dyslexia.

Formal definition

Initial value	start , or a nameless value that acts as left if direction is ltr , right if direction is rtl if start is not supported by the browser.
Applies to	block containers
Inherited	yes
Computed value	as specified, except for the match-parent value which is calculated against its parent’s direction value and results in a computed value of either left or right
Animation type	discrete

Formal syntax

text-align = start | end | left | right | center | justify | match-parent | justify-all 

Examples

Start alignment

HTML

p class="example"> Integer elementum massa at nulla placerat varius. Suspendisse in libero risus, in interdum massa. Vestibulum ac leo vitae metus faucibus gravida ac in neque. Nullam est eros, suscipit sed dictum quis, accumsan a ligula. p> 

CSS

.example < text-align: start; border: solid; >

Result

Centered text

HTML

p class="example"> Integer elementum massa at nulla placerat varius. Suspendisse in libero risus, in interdum massa. Vestibulum ac leo vitae metus faucibus gravida ac in neque. Nullam est eros, suscipit sed dictum quis, accumsan a ligula. p> 

CSS

.example < text-align: center; border: solid; >

Result

Example using «justify»

HTML

p class="example"> Integer elementum massa at nulla placerat varius. Suspendisse in libero risus, in interdum massa. Vestibulum ac leo vitae metus faucibus gravida ac in neque. Nullam est eros, suscipit sed dictum quis, accumsan a ligula. p> 

CSS

CSS Text Alignment

In this chapter you will learn about the following properties:

• text-align
• text-align-last
• direction
• unicode-bidi
• vertical-align

Text Alignment

The text-align property is used to set the horizontal alignment of a text.

A text can be left or right aligned, centered, or justified.

The following example shows center aligned, and left and right aligned text (left alignment is default if text direction is left-to-right, and right alignment is default if text direction is right-to-left):

Example

When the text-align property is set to «justify», each line is stretched so that every line has equal width, and the left and right margins are straight (like in magazines and newspapers):

Example

Text Align Last

The text-align-last property specifies how to align the last line of a text.

Example

Align the last line of text in three

elements:

Text Direction

The direction and unicode-bidi properties can be used to change the text direction of an element:

Example

Vertical Alignment

The vertical-align property sets the vertical alignment of an element.

Example

Set the vertical alignment of an image in a text:

img.a <
vertical-align: baseline;
>

img.b vertical-align: text-top;
>

img.c vertical-align: text-bottom;
>
