Values

auto

Automatically specified by the user agent.

start

Inline-level content is aligned to the start edge of the line box.

end

Inline-level content is aligned to the end edge of the line box.

left

Inline-level content is aligned to the line left edge of the line box.

right

Inline-level content is aligned to the line right edge of the line box.

center

Inline-level content is centered within the line box.

justify

Text is justified according to the method specified by the text-justify property, in order to exactly fill the line box.

match-parent

Behaves the same as inherit except that an inherited value of start or end is interpreted against the parent's direction value and results in a computed value of either left or right.
