Conclusion

The <center> element was once commonly used to center content horizontally, but it is now deprecated. Modern web development practices recommend using CSS for centering, as it provides greater flexibility and control. Using CSS ensures better accessibility, compatibility, and maintainability. Instead of <center>, use text-align: center for inline elements or wrap content in a <div> and apply margin: 0 auto for centering block elements.
