# Content-align
The `content-align` style aligns content _inside_ a widget.
## Syntax
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md"
content-align: <a href="../../css_types/horizontal"><horizontal></a> <a href="../../css_types/vertical"><vertical></a>;
content-align-horizontal: <a href="../../css_types/horizontal"><horizontal></a>;
content-align-vertical: <a href="../../css_types/vertical"><vertical></a>;
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
The `content-align` style takes a [`<horizontal>`](../css_types/horizontal.md) followed by a [`<vertical>`](../css_types/vertical.md).
You can specify the alignment of content on both the horizontal and vertical axes at the same time,
or on each of the axis separately.
To specify content alignment on a single axis, use the respective style and type:
- `content-align-horizontal` takes a [`<horizontal>`](../css_types/horizontal.md) and does alignment along the horizontal axis; and
- `content-align-vertical` takes a [`<vertical>`](../css_types/vertical.md) and does alignment along the vertical axis.
## Examples
### Basic usage
This first example shows three labels stacked vertically, each with different content alignments.
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/content_align.py"}
```
=== "content_align.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align.py"
```
=== "content_align.tcss"
```css hl_lines="2 7-8 13"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align.tcss"
```
### All content alignments
The next example shows a 3 by 3 grid of labels.
Each label has its text aligned differently.
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/content_align_all.py"}
```
=== "content_align_all.py"
```py
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align_all.py"
```
=== "content_align_all.tcss"
```css hl_lines="2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23 26"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align_all.tcss"
```
## CSS
```css
/* Align content in the very center of a widget */
content-align: center middle;
/* Align content at the top right of a widget */
content-align: right top;
/* Change the horizontal alignment of the content of a widget */
content-align-horizontal: right;
/* Change the vertical alignment of the content of a widget */
content-align-vertical: middle;
```
## Python
```python
# Align content in the very center of a widget
widget.styles.content_align = ("center", "middle")
# Align content at the top right of a widget
widget.styles.content_align = ("right", "top")
# Change the horizontal alignment of the content of a widget
widget.styles.content_align_horizontal = "right"
# Change the vertical alignment of the content of a widget
widget.styles.content_align_vertical = "middle"
```
