flex Centering

Advantages: Unknown heights can be centered

<style>
    .wrap{height: 100%;display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;align-content:center;}
    
    .other{background-color: #ccc; width: 400px;height: 400px;} /* 额外的样式 可去除 */
</style>
<p class="wrap">
    <p class="other">
        <h2>这是第二层的内容 不会居中</h2>
    </p>
</p>

position + translate centering

Advantages: Unknown heights can be centered, with minimum nesting levels

<style>
    /* position 可选 absolute|fixed*/
    .center{position: absolute;left: 50%;top: 50%; transform: translate(-50%,-50%);}
    
    .other{background-color: #ccc; } /* 额外的样式 可去除 */
</style>
<p class="center other">
    <h2>这一层的内容 不会居中</h2>
</p>
