...which is rendered by the parser as:
Additional CSS properties
This template does have one named parameter, style, which can be used to pass additional CSS properties to the wrapping <div> tags. The properties should be well-formed CSS 3.0, with colon-delimited property names and all values terminated with a semicolon. As an example, if it was desired to have the template's output be double-spaced below the preceding text and in a larger, bold font, it would look like...
{{Center|style=margin-top: 2em; font-size: larger; font-weight: bold;|Elements (text, images, etc.) to be centered here}}
...which is rendered as:
Bare HTML tags
To do this without a template, simply use the following HTML code, replacing the '...' with any standard Wikitext you want to appear centered on the page (multiple lines are acceptable, too):
<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">...</div>
