align="right" doesn't work in XML

Question

I've never used XML before, and now I must change the align of text. I try to do it like in HTML, but it doesn't happen. Maybe I do something wrong? Here is he script:

<gallery>
    <title><![CDATA[<FONT SIZE="20" COLOR="#C3A25D"></FONT>]]></title>
    <text><![CDATA[<FONT SIZE="20" COLOR="#C3A25D">text, which i want to to be in right position</FONT>]]></text>
    <thmb></thmb>
    <img wdt="421">images/avetiskhakhamyan.jpg</img>
</gallery>

I try to write align="right" in <font> tag, but it deosn't work. Could you tell me what is the problem?

Update:

And I can't understand anyway, if I don't set any align attribute, why it show text in center? is it the default value?

Answer 1

XML is not a display format. It doesn't not "understand" alignments.

As far as XML is concerned, align="right" is an attribute named align with the value right. Noting more and nothing less.

Answer 2

XML exists purely to describe and contain data. Presentation (colors, positioning, fonts etc.) is not part of what XML can or should be able to do.

You should take a look at XLST (and therefore too HTML and CSS). That way you can format your data the way you want.
