Center tag works in labels but not values

[DougBrowning]

The center tag is working in the label but not in a value.  Bold and color works in both. 

Value in label that works

<font size="4" color="red"><b><center>Transect</center></b></font>

Value in calculation that does not

concat('<font size="5" color="red"><b><center>',${Transect},'</center></b></font>')

Is there a way to center a value?  My users keep advancing the wrong repeat.

Thanks

Note I also can get 

<p style="text-align:center"> and <p align=center> and <p align="center">

to work in a label but not in a note value.  No error or anything it just does not move.

Weird thing is color works in both.  So my guess is the text field is only the size of the data and it is centering just does not look like it on the screen.

Thanks
