TEXT ALIGNMENT

Text alignment is the capability to arrange a block of text, such as a heading or a paragraph, so that it’s aligns the left margin (left justification, the default), aligned against the right margin (right justification), or centered. Standard HTML 2.0 has no mechanisms for aligning text; the browser is responsible for      determining the alignment of the text *(which means most of the tie is left-justified).

HTML 3.2 introduced attributes for text and element alignment, and these attributes have been incorporated into all the major browsers. HTML 4.01 still supports alignment attributes, but the preferred method of controlling text alignment now is with style sheets.’
