In the previous post in this series, we learned how to write markdown in Github and its exclusive features.

Text Align

Using align="left" attribute text can be aligned easily and it works with all the tags that markdown supports.

## Text Align - <p>
<p align="center">This is center aligned!</p>
<p align="left">Left aligned</p>
<p align="right">Right aligned</p>


## Text Align - <div>
<div align="center">This is center aligned!</div>
<div align="left">Left aligned</div>
<div align="right">Right aligned</div>
