Struct AlignElem 

pub struct AlignElem {
    pub alignment: Settable<Self, 0u8>,
    pub body: Content,
}

Aligns content horizontally and vertically.

Example

Let’s start with centering our content horizontally:

#set page(height: 120pt)
#set align(center)

Centered text, a sight to see \
In perfect balance, visually \
Not left nor right, it stands alone \
A work of art, a visual throne

To center something vertically, use horizon alignment:

#set page(height: 120pt)
#set align(horizon)

Vertically centered, \
the stage had entered, \
a new paragraph.

Combining alignments

You can combine two alignments with the + operator. Let’s also only apply this to one piece of content by using the function form instead of a set rule:

#set page(height: 120pt)
Though left in the beginning ...

#align(right + bottom)[
  ... they were right in the end, \
  and with addition had gotten, \
  the paragraph to the bottom!
]

Nested alignment

You can use varying alignments for layout containers and the elements within them. This way, you can create intricate layouts:

#align(center, block[
  #set align(left)
  Though centered together \
  alone \
  we \
  are \
  left.
])

Alignment within the same line

The align function performs block-level alignment and thus always interrupts the current paragraph. To have different alignment for parts of the same line, you should use fractional spacing instead:

Start #h(1fr) End
