When trying to center xml code with css i run into an error, here is my XML Doc:

XML

<?xml-stylesheet href="center.css"?>
<xml>
<center>This is centered</center>
</xml>

This is my CSS file (center.css) :

CSS

center {
	text-align:center;
}

All other css works, meaning if i wanted to i could say color:blue;, but text-align doesnt seem to want to work.

Solution 2

By default your XML elements are converted to inline (span) elements for display. Some of the CSS attributes can not be set on inline elements, and one of them is alignment...
Change your CSS like this:

CSS

center {
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
}
