Please note that this tag is very general. Accepted options and their meaning are defined by the converters. Nevertheless, certain settings are commonly used by convention, these are the options documented here.

Syntax

Options

As mentioned before, accepted options are defined by the converters. Please refer to a specific converters documentation to find out which settings it supports.

The following options are commonly used which means they are accepted by all converters. This does not necessarily mean that a certain converter supports them all. Again, please see the converters documentation for details.

align
Specifies alignment of text, which means the content of text paragraphs and table cells. Valid values are left, center, justify and right (which should be self explaining).

Body
