A simple template to center-align content in tables and other places. Be aware that the center class is appllied to this template, which means every element within the template has its left and right margins set to auto. This may harm some templates.
Example
{{#if: ||+ {{{title}}}}} {{#if: || Markup | Renders as
}}{{#if: {{Center|Hello world!}} |
|
{{Center|Hello world!}}
|
Hello world! {{#if:Hello world!||}}

To do this without a template, simply use the following code:
{{#switch:pair
|c|close =
|e|empty|s|single|v|void
|o|open
|p|pair = <div{{#if:class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"| class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"}}
}}{{#switch:pair
|c|close =
|e|empty|s|single|v|void = />
|o|open = >
|p|pair = {{#ifeq:div|!--||>}}...
}}{{#switch:pair
|e|empty|s|single|v|void
|o|open =
|c|close
|p|pair = {{#ifeq:div|!--|-->|</div>}}
}}
