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):

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):

div { text-align: justify; }

Text Align Last

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

Text Direction

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

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

Vertical Alignment

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

Text Transformation

The text-transform property is used to specify uppercase and lowercase letters in a text.

Text Indentation

The text-indent property is used to specify the indentation of the first line of a text

The letter-spacing property is used to specify the space between the characters in a text.
