Is there a way for me to format text to appear in the middle of the screen, rather than on the left?

Question

Because when I type it already appears on the left of the screen:

Like this

I know that ** makes the subject go bold, and * makes it italic, is there a way I can do this??

Answer 1

As far as I know, this site suppresses all alignment features that would allow text to be centralised. You could do something close to it using code blocks, but it's not really the same.

                         This text is (somewhat) centrally aligned. 

Typing four spaces before a line of text creates the code block, and then adding more spaces afterward pushes the text along. The downfall of this method is obviously that the text is pre-formatted, but also that it won't appear centrally aligned on devices with a low screen width (e.g. most phones).

Presumably, this works the way it does because Pokemaster set it as such. I can only speak for myself, but it looks like he wants to keep all posts left-aligned.

Ok thanks!

Yes, you can center text on the Pokebase. Simply use the center tag:

<center>put the text you want to center here</center>

It will make this:

put the text you want to center here

You can also center HTML formatting. For example, if I wanted to center an image, I could do this:

<center><img src="IMAGE_ADDRESS" alt="IMAGE_NAME"</center>

to get this:

sorry mods for whatever reason I accidentally hid my answer and redid it because my device was being buggy and wouldn't let me reshow it

Yes you could go to all that effort…. Or just use spaces
                              Like this, see?

A), Spaces take significantly more effort, B), it doesn't look the same in the preview if you do spaces either, and it less predictable because the box size of the preview is different than that of the actual answer, and C), the spaces will look different if someone sees them on a phone vs a computer. This is much better and more reliable.
