title: Why is the <center> tag deprecated in HTML?
body: <p>I am just curious as to why the <code>&lt;center&gt;</code> tag in HTML was deprecated.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>&lt;center&gt;</code> was a simple way of quickly center-aligning blocks of text and images by encapsulating the container in a <code>&lt;center&gt;</code> tag, and I really cannot find any simpler way on how to do it now.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know of any simple way on how to center "stuff" (not the <code>margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;</code> and width thing), something that replaces <code>&lt;center&gt;</code> ?  And also, why was it deprecated?</p>
