If you define what you mean by centering I'll give you a straight answer.

Vertically? Horizontally? Center the text or the entire box? Compared to the viewport, the parent container or the entire page?

"Centering" isn't as straight forward as you'd think, and what you actually want usually depends on the situation.

Fuck it, align='center'. That'll center it horizontally relative to some context and if that's not good enough then you should have been more precise in your request.
