# Content-align
The `content-align` style aligns content _inside_ a widget.
Not to be confused with [`align`](../align).
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.
## Syntax
```
content-align: <HORIZONTAL> <VERTICAL>;
content-align-horizontal: <HORIZONTAL>;
content-align-vertical: <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 |
## Examples
This first example shows three labels stacked vertically, each with different content alignments.
=== "content_align.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align.py"
```
=== "content_align.css"
```scss hl_lines="2 7-8 13"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align.css"
```
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/content_align.py"}
```
The next example shows a 3 by 3 grid of labels.
Each label has its text aligned differently.
=== "content_align_all.py"
```py
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align_all.py"
```
=== "content_align_all.css"
```css
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/content_align_all.css"
```
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/content_align_all.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;
/* 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"
```
