A simple template to center-align content in tables and other places.

== Example ==
{{markup
| <nowiki>{{Center|Hello world!}}</nowiki>
| {{Center|Hello world!}}
}}

To do this without a template, simply use the following code:
:{{tag|div|params=class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"}}

=== Centering tables ===

Centered tables can be achieved, but they don't "float"; that is to say no text appears to either side. The trick is <code><nowiki>{| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"</nowiki></code>

Wiki markup:
<pre>
Text before table...
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
|+ '''Cells left-aligned, table centered'''
! scope="col" | Duis
! scope="col" | aute
! scope="col" | irure
|-
| dolor  || in reprehenderit || in voluptate velit
|-
| esse cillum dolore || eu fugiat nulla || pariatur.
|}
...text after table
</pre>

As it appears in a browser:
<div style="background: white; border: 2px solid rgb(0, 255, 0); padding: 2px;">
Text before table...
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
|+ '''Cells left-aligned, table centered'''
! Duis || aute || irure
|-
| dolor  || in reprehenderit || in voluptate velit
|-
| esse cillum dolore || eu fugiat nulla || pariatur.
|}
...text after table
</div>


=== Table ===
{| class="wikitable"
!colspan="3" style="width:300px"| Header text
|-
| {{Left2|Left2}} || {{Center|Center}} || {{Right|Right}}
|}
