Alignment

Text alignment markups

Text alignment markups allow you to align the text under the markup tag. The left alignment is a default setting. The particular settings work as long as they meet another alignment tag. Please, have a look at the following scheme:

Center HTML markup

In order to centre various elements (texts, images, videos, etc.) on a page, you can use an HTML markup. <center>your text, images and other elements</center> Sometimes using this markup will be a better solution (in Twine you can style it using the CSS language).



The (align: ) macro

The (align: ) macro allows you to align only a selected fragment of your text. It is used in the same way as text alignment markups.

Example

(align: "=><=")[It’s time – Max says to you.]
There are lots of thoughts running through your head. You are wondering
whether you really want to do it. A parachute jump has always been a challenge to you.
