| Character formatting for the Web is very similar to formatting the text in any word processing or desktop publishing program. Type an xhtml tag before and after the text. Today designers use CSS font and text properties.

The division <div> </div> is a container element used to align a block of text or images in the Xhtml document. The div element is used extensibly in style sheets. The old center element and other charter formatting has been replaced by the stylesheet language.
<div align="center"><p>The flowers in the garden...</p> </div>
