Centering text in a table in Twitter Bootstrap

Question

In Bootstrap 3 (3.0.3) adding the "text-center" class to a td element works out of the box.

I.e., the following centers some text in a table cell:

<td class="text-center">some text</td>

The .table td 's text-align is set to left, rather than center.

Adding this should center all your tds:

.table td {
   text-align: center;   
}

@import url('https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css');
table,
thead,
tr,
tbody,
th,
td {
  text-align: center;
}

.table td {
  text-align: center;
}

<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>1</th>
      <th>1</th>
      <th>1</th>
      <th>1</th>
      <th>2</th>
      <th>2</th>
      <th>2</th>
      <th>2</th>
      <th>3</th>
      <th>3</th>
      <th>3</th>
      <th>3</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="4">Lorem</td>
      <td colspan="4">ipsum</td>
      <td colspan="4">dolor</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Updated JSFIDDLE

I think who the best mix for html & Css for quick and clean mod is :

<table class="table text-center">
<thead>
        <tr>                    
        <th class="text-center">Uno</th>
        <th class="text-center">Due</th>
        <th class="text-center">Tre</th>
        <th class="text-center">Quattro</th>
    </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
        <td>3</td>
        <td>4</td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>

close the <table> init tag then copy where you want :) I hope it can be useful Have a good day w stackoverflow

p.s. Bootstrap v3.2.0

You can make td's align without changing the css by adding a div with a class of "text-center" inside the cell:

    <td>
        <div class="text-center">
            My centered text
        </div>
    </td>

<td class="text-center">

and fix .text-center in bootstrap.css:

.text-center {
    text-align: center !important;
}

If it's just once, you shouldn't alter your style sheet. Just edit that particular td:

<td style="text-align: center;">
