It can be easily done by CSS:

content

centered{

background:#ccc;
border:1px solid #f00;
height:200px;
left:50%;
margin:-100px 0 0 -150px; /* negative margins half height and half width of centered block */
position:absolute;
top:50%;
width:300px}

You are rignt kristapsancans, but this also means that parts of the content are invisible, if the width of the browser window is smaller than the content-width. And you can NOT scroll to the left to see the hidden content...
