how to center a markdown block?

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.lulucheng.com/writing

i added a markdown block so i could embed an email signup form for my Substack newsletter. this is the html code i received from Substack to do that:

<iframe src="https://lulu.substack.com/embed" width="480" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

however, when i paste this code into the markdown block editor, it left aligns the signup form (white box below the 'sign up' button):

how do i center the signup form on the page? i'm using the sofia template. 

thanks for any help or insight!

p.s. i removed the markdown block from https://www.lulucheng.com/writing for now, but the screenshot i've attached shows the issue i'm describing.

There is no code, just edit a page and add a spacer, just as you would add a text block or image block,  to the page and use it to move the markdown block. You will need to put the markdown block back up first of course.

ah, i see. i added a spacer on either side, but it's still not centered. it's more obvious on mobile:

i think the problem is that the signup module itself is left aligned in the markdown block. and no matter how i resize the spacers on either side, i can't get it quite centered. is there a way to center the signup module within the markdown block (maybe using code)?

<center><all other styling> Your Content <all other styling></center>

Add an additional center tag on top of your content and styling.

Hi,
Please do not use <center> tag! It's outdated!

Instead of it you can make it center via CSS easily! @LuxNarayan @skiptomylu211
