very simple center question

[James]

I have a td with three lines of text, each separated by a br. I want the
last line to be centered in the td. In the old days, I would just use
center /center tags (which is what I'm currently using and it works fine).
However, my authoring tool is suggesting that w3c considers this outdated
and it wants me to get into this century. I tried putting a span
style="text-align:center" wrapping the text, but this didn't work. I can't
change the align attribute of the td to center because this centers ALL the
text and I want the first two lines to be left justified. Can someone tell
me what the modern day equivalent to the center tags are for this scenario?

try
<span style="width:100%; text-align:center;">my text</span>

or
<span style="width:100%; text-align:center; display:block;">my text</span>

or
<div style="width:100%; text-align:center;">my text</div>
