This was removed from CSS2.1 presumably because of a lack of adoption by user agents. This porperty was intended to replace the horizontal alignment attributes and values for table related elements: align, char and charoff. HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 through 1.1 have a table attribute to horizontally align cells on a particular character. (see bug 11103 ) e.g.: , <td align="char" char="." charoff="2">121.12</td>  CSS2 intended this presentational work to be hadneld by the text-align property: adding an arbitrary string as a value. For example: td, th { text-align: "."; would accomplsih the same thing for the selected cells. WebKit does not seem to support either the HTML method nor the CSS method for aligning horizontally aligning cells. 56858 1 robburns1 2006-09-30 23:23:50 -0700 See bug show_bug.cgi?id=11103 for the HTML alignment attributes. 70448 2 webkit 2008-02-12 15:26:11 -0800 CSS3 Text Module http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-align also specifies "string" value for text-align property. I think the bug should be considered as an enhancement request. 1881149 3 bfulgham 2022-07-06 15:31:00 -0700 CSS3 Text Module no longer specifies a 'string' option. We do support all other items in the spec.
