Alignment Utilities

The alignment utilities map directly to logical CSS properties, so they work automatically for both LTR and RTL content.
ClassCSSWhen to use
.text-starttext-align: start;Default left alignment (LTR) or right alignment (RTL)
.text-centertext-align: center;Headlines, testimonials, CTA sections
.text-endtext-align: end;Pricing tables, metadata, RTL body copy
<div class="grid gap-6">
  <header class="text-center">
    <p class="text-sm text-gray">Case study</p>
    <h2 class="text-4xl font-semibold text-black">
      Center alignment puts the spotlight on your testimonial
    </h2>
  </header>
  <aside class="text-end text-sm text-gray">
    <p>Updated: October 2025</p>
    <p>Written by: @skelementor</p>
  </aside>
</div>
Because .text-start respects writing direction, you can design once and reuse the same component on multilingual Elementor sites without creating separate classes.

Responsive Alignment Strategy

  • Mobile-first: Keep paragraphs left-aligned for readability; reserve .text-center for short statements.
  • Hero sections: Combine .text-center with .max-w-fluid-md mx-auto to keep lines readable across breakpoints.
  • Data tables: Use .text-end for numbers and currency to align decimals cleanly.
Wrap alignment utilities alongside flexbox helpers: class="flex flex-col items-start text-start md:text-center" gives you nuanced control as layouts shift.
