+# Content-align
+
+The `content-align` property allows you to align content _inside_ a widget.
+
+You can specify the alignment of content on both the horizontal and vertical axes.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```
+content-align: <HORIZONTAL> <VERTICAL>;
+```
+
+### Values
+
+#### `HORIZONTAL`
+
+| Value            | Description                                        |
+|------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
+| `left` (default) | Align content on the left of the horizontal axis   |
+| `center`         | Align content in the center of the horizontal axis |
+| `right`          | Align content on the right of the horizontal axis  |
+
+#### `VERTICAL`
+
+| Value           | Description                                      |
+|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------|
+| `top` (default) | Align content at the top of the vertical axis    |
+| `middle`        | Align content in the middle of the vertical axis |
+| `bottom`        | Align content at the bottom of the vertical axis |
+
+## Example
+
+=== "content_align.py"
+
+    ```python
+    --8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align.py"
+    ```
+
+=== "content_align.css"
+
+    ```scss
+    --8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align.css"
+    ```
+
+=== "Output"
+
+    ```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/content_align.py"}
+    ```
+
+## CSS
+
+```sass
+/* 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;
+```
+
+## 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")
+```
