<h2>Html center element</h2>
<h3>2025-04-10</h3>
<h4>Making things simpler still</h4>
<p>The <b>center</b> element in html is depreciated, and validation of the page shows warnings. 
Instead the use of the css style <b>text-align:center</b> is precognised.</p>
<p>But this is ignored in terminal text browsers, and I prefer some sort of consistency, so I've removed center elements and text-align css. 
The page itself is centered setting margins. Chawan gives the best rendering on the terminal, here I'm using Ghostty.</p>
