[html] centering

[html] centering

[Samuel Wales]

Has there been a recent change in HTML centering?  We get this now:

  <div class="center">

This does not work in browsers that do not support CSS.

Thanks.

Looks like Bastien put that in in baa2999, around March 12. That commit
moved the remaining inline style declarations into CSS, presumably as
that's considered best practice. I can't speak for what we *should* be
supporting, though...

Specifically, which browsers are you talking about?

What do you mean by "not working"?  Just not centered,
or something worse?

Thanks

Just not centered.  I want my posts to work in text-oriented browsers
if possible, and I find that emacs-w3m does not seem to center.  In my
test, at least, a normal export of a subtree to a buffer (with HEAD)
does not center in emacs-w3m.

Incidentally, I normally export blog posts without HEAD, because
Blogger does not work well that way.  So the new change means, as far
as I can tell, that I will have to add a CSS definition for center to
the places where I export.

Thanks.

So that is a viable solution for you?
