Centered Table or List

[Fiadh]

I'm having no luck trying to do this with the tables on my threads. Everything else is neatly centered and then... my lists are askew. If there's a way to get whole tables (not just the text in each column) to abide by an alignment code I'd love to know the secret.

Salut, Andronica! This might be a little tricky or not what you're looking for completely and might take a bit of trial and error. Here's what I do to center a table:

1. Add columns on both ends (kind of like paddings).
2. Add text in the same color as the background (#333333) in those columns.
3. Change the font size of the text to xx-large.

You can adjust how “centered” you want your table to be by adding more text on both columns. As for centered lists, I suggest not using the [ list ] code and just manually typing your list.

This is how my code looks like:

[table]
[tr]
	[td][SIZE=7][color=#333333]RAINDROPTOPRAIN[/color][/SIZE][/td]
	[td][list][*]This
[*]is
[*]a
[*]list[/list]

[CENTER]• This
• is
• a
• centered 
• list[/CENTER][/td]
	[td][list=1][*]This
[*]is
[*]a
[*]list[/list]

[CENTER]1. This
2. is
3. a
4. centered
5. list[/CENTER][/td]
	[td][list=A][*]This
[*]is
[*]a
[*]list[/list]

[CENTER]A. This
B. is
C. a
D. centered
E. list[/CENTER][/td]
	[td][SIZE=7][color=#333333]RAINDROPTOP[/color][/SIZE][/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

The outcome should look like this:

RAINDROPTOPRAIN

This is a list • This • is • a • centered • list​

This is a list 1. This 2. is 3. a 4. centered 5. list​

This is a list A. This B. is C. a D. centered E. list​

RAINDROPTOP

I hope this helps. ^~^

Thanks for the quick response!

I considered adding more empty columns to pad it, since I use the white layout and extra text on the sides would be visible to people who use that theme. I might try using a transparent image to fill the space and see how that goes.
