How can I center align text in a markup block?

Recommended Posts

I am using a markup block to create some text content with different formatting than the typography styles I am currently using in the style editor. Everything I have set in the custom CSS menu is correctly targeting the markup block text, aside from the 'text-align' property. No matter the setting, the text remains left justified. I would like it to be centered justified, however. Below is the CSS I am using:


scenario {
   font-style: normal;
   text-align: left;
   font-weight: 300;
   font-size: 20px;
   line-height: 1.8em;
   color: #2e4259;
}

Any thoughts on why this text refuses to center align would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think you are setting up these blocks correctly. You need to use div id's or classes and then place your content within those, something like this:

You'd add a 'Markup Block' and then add this HTML:


<div class="scenario">
 <p>Here is some paragraph content</p>
 <ul>
   <li>Here is an unordered list item</li>
   <li>and another<li>
 </ul>
</div>

And then your custom CSS would be:


.scenario {
   font-style: normal;
   text-align: left;
   font-weight: 300;
   font-size: 20px;
   line-height: 1.8em;
   color: #2e4259;
   text-align: center;
}

Try changing your HTML / CSS to that and see if it helps.

Hi

My Markdown block currently contains the following HTML, how can I adapt it to centre align?

Or, give us a call on&nbsp+233 (0)30 277 2234

Ideally I would also like to use an RGB colour code instead of the standard blue which it is right now

thanks!
