I normally centre an image using a <p align="center"> ... </p> format, but I
understand that this is "deprecated" in the latest standard in favour of styles.
The problem is that I cannot find a style that will centre an image,
"text-align" doesn't work and probably shouldn't.

So what is the "standards-correct" method of centering an image?

TIA

Your image constitutes an entire paragraph? <div> is likely to be more
apropriate.

There's nothing in the word deprecated that makes it worthy of recieving
quote marks in the above.

text-align does work, you just have to use it in the right place

It is badly named. inline-align might be better.

Thanks, the div suggestion does seem to work.

Sorry for the quote marks.
