The provided HTML code represents a table structure for document formatting, likely intended for generating a PDF.
Let’s elaborate on the use of “text-align: center” within the “p” tag to correct the alignment of data.
In HTML, the “text-align” property is used to define the horizontal alignment of text content within an element.
In this case, “text-align: center” is applied to the “p” (paragraph) tag inside each table cell (“<td>”).
- P.O. No.:The first row of the table contains headers, such as “P.O. No.,” “Terms,” “Ship Date,” “Due Date,” “Ship Via,” and “Shipping Point.” The “text-align: center” style is applied to ensure that the text content within each header cell is horizontally centered.
- Data Cells:The second row contains actual data corresponding to the headers. For example, “${record.otherrefnum}” represents the purchase order number. The “text-align: center” style is employed within each “p” tag to correct the alignment of data, ensuring that the content is centered within its respective cell.
- This is particularly useful when dealing with data that might be stretched, misplaced, or exhibit extra spaces in the generated PDF.
By using “text-align: center,” the design aims to present the data in a neat and organized manner, improving the overall visual appeal of the generated document. It ensures consistency in the alignment of both headers and data cells, creating a more professional and readable appearance in the final PDF output.
