How do I right justify content in a Text Gadget?

[Brenda Henderson]

I am using the Text gadget on my dashboard to provide information to the team.  I have a section of the gadget that is centered and another section I want right justfied.

<center>
<font size="+2" color="#4B0082">
<b>
THIS IS THE AREA WHERE THE TEXT IS CENTERED AS EXPECTED
<br>
<right>
<font size="+2" color="#006400">
<b>
THIS IS THE AREA I WANT TEXT TO RIGHT JUSTIFY
BUT IT WILL NOT
IT REMAINS CENTERED
<br>

How do I get the section to justify right?

Hi @Brenda Henderson,

The tag center is deprecated, use the CSS property text-align instead. Please refer to HTML documentation, for example https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/center.

Your HTML for the gadget Text should look like this:

<p style="text-align: center; color: #4B0082; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">
THIS IS THE AREA WHERE THE TEXT IS CENTERED AS EXPECTED
</p>
<p style="text-align: right; color: #006400; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">
THIS IS THE AREA I WANT TEXT TO RIGHT JUSTIFY
BUT IT WILL NOT
IT REMAINS CENTERED
</p>

Please be informed that the Text gadget is deprecated in Jira 9.11, see release notes. You may want to use the Rich Text gadget instead.
