Since HTML5 does not support the <center> tag anymore, should I include it in the style?

"text-align:center" or "margin: 0 auto" for example. Or you guys may have a more specific suggestion for email design?

Yes, include it in your css markup and avoid html styling.

It's best practice to format your content in the CSS. There are several methods in CSS to center your content depending on what you want to center. Yes, 'text-align:center' and 'margin:auto' are two methods you could use. However, 'margin: auto' isn't going to center align your text. 'margin:auto' is used to center sections.

:point_right: You should use styles instead of the <center> element tag.

"text-align: center" or "margin: 0 auto" are good, depending on whether you are centering text or block elements, plus there are several other options to choose from (like flexbox, for example) that can provide centering.
