How does it work?
This tool center-aligns text by adding spaces at the beginning of each line. The alignment is based on the specified width or the length of the longest line, whichever is greater.
The process works as follows:
- The tool determines the maximum width (either from your input or the longest line)
- For each line, it calculates how many spaces to add at the beginning to center the text
- The spaces are added, and the result is a visually centered text
Example
Original text
Title
Subtitle
This is a longer line of text that will be centered
Short line
Another longer line that demonstrates center alignment
The EndAfter center alignment
Title
Subtitle
This is a longer line of text that will be centered
Short line
Another longer line that demonstrates center alignment
The EndParameters
- Text to center-align: The input text that you want to center-align
- Width (characters): The width in characters to use for centering (default: 80)
This tool is useful for creating centered titles, headings, or any text that needs to be visually centered in a fixed-width context like code comments, ASCII art, or plain text documents.
Note: For best results, view the output in a monospaced font (which is used by default in the output area).
