Example 6, title alignment

By default the title is aligned to the centre. This can be changed by setting |aligntitle=.

• Setting |aligntitle=left will move the title to the left.
• Setting |aligntitle=right will move the title to the right.
• Setting |aligntitle=centre or |aligntitle=center will retain the default behaviour and may be used to indicate that the default behaviour has been kept intentionally.
