Centering page content
In CE3 there was an option to center page content. That appears to be missing from CE4.
I cant find any sort of alignment options in Markdown either.
Can I center a Markdown page's content, or do I have to do it all in HTML now?

Re: Centering page content
Markdown doesn't allow for alignment.
I don't see any alignment options so use styling with html to center alignment. For example
<h1 style="text-align:center;">Your Heading</h1>

Re: Centering page content
Since you can't have markdown inside HTML, I guess I have to just redo everything on the page in HTML.

Re: Centering page content
You can have HTML inside your markdown code. This should work.

Re: Centering page content
I just dumped my Markdown into a Markdown editor, copied the generated HTML and wrapped it in a <div align=center> ... </div>.
I can then just maintain the HTML and forget about Markdown.

Re: Centering page content
align=center is deprecated and not supported in HTML5, you should be using css instead:
<div style="text-align:center;">.....</div>

Re: Centering page content
The 7.0.5 update will include text-alignment control for each page's content and sidebar.

Thanks for the tip Rod.
I am an old school HTML guy. I know CSS, but I tend to use HTML for "quick & dirty" stuff like this. I will definitely change my code.
(at least I rarely use tables anymore :-) )
