Centering Headings in IPython notebook

Question

I would like to center heading cells in IPython notebook.

I know it is possible to create centered headlines by writing HTML, but then I can't get a reference to the cell when using table of contents (nbtoc ext.)

Is there a way to write HTML headings with reference or heading cells with centered text?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you want to center a heading without custom css, you can surround your text with center tags.

For example, if you wanted to make a centered h1 title cell:

# <center>Title</center>

Answer 2

Another option is to use:

<h3 align="center">This is a centered header</h3> 

as shown here.
