Dear all,
Sorry this may seem trivial but I'm not getting any success. I'm
trying to get the following centered when outputting to html:
{ [[file:index.org][Home]] | [[file:files.org][Announcements and Files]] }
Can anyone help? Thanks.

You give us *very* little to chew on. How about: - what have you tried? - an example HTML code that would do the right thing etc etc etc. If you want people to help you solve a problem, please do your part by giving them *as much as possible* information. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

A =<p>= element isn't supposed to contain another =<p>= element, so it won't work. I think this is undesirable, perhaps a bug; only text blocks delimited by blank lines should be considered paragraphs and exported as =<p>=. * With =<div>= and class #+HTML: <DIV CLASS="centeralign"> { [[file:index.org][Home]] | [[file:files.org][Announcements and Files]] } #+HTML: </div> This should work, supposing you write CSS for it, e.g. by adding this to your header: : #+STYLE: <style>.centeralign {text-align: center}</style> There is no =centeralign= class in the default stylesheet, so you can't expect it to work out of the box.

I was not aware of this. I actually was expecting this but when I googled I did not end up with anything useful. However, a quick text search for "center" on the monolithic manual did. On a similar note, I searched for "right" on the manual but did not see anything for right aligned. Just to confirm, there isn't a #BEGIN_RIGHT feature right? Thanks.
