This simple template vertically centers text, including multi-line wrapped text. It is meant to be used inside a div that defines the region the text is to appear to be in the middle of. It takes three unnamed parameters: The text to be vertically centered (the main parameter) An addendum to the style applied to the inner div container (styled ...
Note: For vertical alignment of text see: Help:Table#Vertical alignment in cells. If there is no global text alignment set in the top line of the table wikitext, then all text is left aligned, except for header cells which are default center aligned.
If the first text-word is too long, no text will fit to complete the left-hand side, so beware creating a "ragged left margin" when not enough space remains for text to fit alongside floating-tables. If multiple single image-tables are stacked, they will float to align across the page, depending on page-width.
Sometimes it is desirable (such as in a table predominantly made of numbers) to rotate text such that it proceeds from top to bottom or bottom to top instead of from left to right or right to left. This can be done with CSS but the easiest way on Wikipedia is to enclose the text of each heading in a {{vertical header}} template. For example:
{{Vertical text|text}} where text (as unnamed parameter 1) is the string to be displayed vertically. An optional named parameter style may be used to specify additional CSS style attributes (e.g. font-size, color, etc). Note: These style attributes should be terminated with a semicolon and not enclosed in quotes (see examples below).

Vertical alignment with the surrounding text can also be a problem; a work-around is described in the "Alignment with normal text flow" section below. The CSS selector of the images is img.tex . Apart from function and operator names, as is customary in mathematics, variables and letters are in italics; digits are not.
