If you need to be good at a layout language to center something, then maybe the layout language sucks.

You literally just have to give it a width and add margin: 0 auto;

I think it’s implied they’re talking about centering both horizontally and vertically. And probably with unknown height.

Still easy these days , though.

Or use Flexbox

But your solution works as well for simple cases
