tablecentered

Tablecentered is not a formal web standard. It is a descriptive label used in templates and codebases to indicate that a table should be visually centered within its container. Because there is no universal CSS property named tablecentered, the term usually refers to a class or rule created by developers to center a table. Its exact meaning can vary, but it generally implies horizontal centering rather than vertical alignment of content.

Implementation typically involves applying a class to the table and defining a rule that sets left and right margins to auto. For example, a table with the tablecentered class can be centered with margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; or with margin: 0 auto;. This approach centers the table within its parent, assuming the table does not span the full width.

HTML usage is straightforward: add the class to the table element and let the stylesheet apply the centering rules. Some templates instead center by wrapping the table in a container with text-align: center and using an inline-table display, but this is less common for semantic markup.

Responsive considerations include avoiding horizontal overflow on small screens. If a table is wide, place it in a scrollable container or allow it to scale to the available width.

Because tablecentered is not standardized, consult project documentation to understand its exact behavior in a given environment and to ensure accessibility features such as captions and headers remain clear.
