# \centering

This declaration corresponds to the `center` environment. This declaration can be used inside an environment such as `quote` or in a `parbox`. The text of a figure or table can be centred on the page by putting a `\centering` command at the beginning of the figure or table environment.

Unlike the `center` environment, the `\centering` command does not start a new paragraph; it simply changes how LaTeX formats paragraph units. To affect a paragraph unit's format, the scope of the declaration must contain the blank line or `\end` command (of an environment like quote) that ends the paragraph unit.
