CSS Text Alignment


Text Alignment and Text Direction
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

h1 {  text-align: center;}h2 {  text-align: left;}h3 {  text-align: right;
}

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

div {  text-align: justify;}

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 <p> elements:

p.a
{
 
text-align-last: right;
}p.b
{
 
text-align-last: center;
}p.c
{
  text-align-last: justify;
}

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

Example

p {  direction: rtl;  unicode-bidi: bidi-override;}

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;}img.d {  vertical-align: sub;}
img.e {  vertical-align: super;}
