How can I center text?
To center portions of text, you use the "center" environment. Double backslashes (\ \ ) are used to break up lines within the environment. Here's an example:
\begin{center} This is a line of centered text.\\ Here's another one.\\ LaTeX is really useful. \end{center}
This would produce:
This is a line of centered text. Here's another one. LaTeX is really useful.
You can also center inside of other environments, by using the \centering
declaration at the beginning of the environment:
\begin{quotation} \centering This is a quotation\\ whose lines\\ are centered. \end{quotation}
