How can format the position and styles of the text in a system.gui.confirm() textbox?  
I’ve got the box so it displays a custom message, but how can I center the message?

It will accept HTML tags for the message, but the centering is a little different than you would think.  
Both of these are using the` <center>` tag

Exactly what I was looking for. Adding at few non-breakable spaces `&nbsp;` to the front of each newline helps center it better (for my message anyway)
