Introduction to <center>tag

The <center>HTML tag was used in early web development to center-align content within a webpage. This tag is a block-level element that takes its contents, whether they are text, images, or other elements, and centers them horizontally within the containing element. Typically, the containing element would be the <body>of the page, but it could also be any parent element.

Warning: The <center>tag is deprecated and is no longer a part of modern web standards. It should be avoided in contemporary web development practices. To achieve centered content, utilize CSS properties such as <text-align>for centering text or use <display: flex>combined with <justify-content: center>for more advanced and flexible layout requirements.

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended for use but while some browsers might still support it but it may have already been removed from web standards or it could be in the process of being phased out, it might only be retained for compatibility with older web projects and it's advisable to avoid using this feature and update your existing code wherever possible, refer to the compatibility table below for guidance and keep in mind that the feature may stop functioning in the future.
