HTML: Left-align text - how it works

The text alignment must be adjusted manually in some situations. Our guide shows you how to left-align text with HTML and gives practical examples.

Left-aligned text only requires the right tag in HTML.

Ideally, the text will look as desired even without an alignment command, but this is rare.

HTML left-aligned: This tag makes it possible

In HTML, the "align" attribute is responsible for text alignment. Accordingly, left-align works:

• The correct statement is align="left".
• In practical use, you put paragraphs between the tags <p align="left"></p>.

This works analogously with centered (align="center") and right-aligned (align="right") alignment, since the HTML mechanisms are always consistent. Other alignment options are available via CSS, as mentioned in this post.
