Article Centering Specific for Poems

Hello World Anvil Team

  First, I love the site and use it religiously. Without it, my story would be a mess of notebooks with half-filled pages and no clear direction. Thank you so much for making this amazing suite of tools.   That said, I would love a specific or possibly easier way to center prose articles. While typing up a poem that summarizes a legend very key to the story, I really wanted to center poem so when you read the article, the lines would be, well, centered. However, even when I used the center function, the lines still filled the entire article rather than centering them as it does when I'm editing. The only way I found to get each line of the poem centered was to type out the center BBcode command before and after each line. This makes writing the poem feel quite cumbersome.   I would love if the center function had an additional option, maybe like a drop arrow next to it, that allowed you to select "poem mode" or "set alignment to article" or something along those lines so that what when I use the center function, it will carry over to the article without the need to manually type out the BBCode for each line.   Anyway, maybe I missed an easier way to center text, but I hope this finds you well.

    Hello there! If I understand this correctly it can be fixed by simply using the [center] ... [/center] tag

      Yes PLEASE. Mine is a poem-heavy campaign, it helps me with worldbuilding (mythologizing events and places in my world with flowery language helps me imagine how NPCs view these things), and having a poem-specific article type would be a godsend.

      This definitely seems like a bug, I had no issues with centering prose when I was writing up my story using it back in 2018

      I strongly suspect that this issue could be resolved with a little CSS. Drop by the css-help channel on the WA Discord and share a link to an example article with a description of how you'd like it to appear. I think there's a good chance you'll find a solution there.

      I'm not sure if this is a bug you've discovered or not - it might be that the centering button isn't working correctly. Which would go into bug reports, not suggestions.   Have some coins, though.
