Where there is a need to specify the style of text for the whole <div>...</div> item, an optional style parameter can be used.
This can be useful when the body of the template is not a single inline item but a multi-paragraph structure. If the formatting in question has a "block" template, you can also nest that inside or outside the {{center}} template:
The following solutions are then applicable.
Option 1

{{center|{{serif block|
<!--or {{serif block|{{center| -->
Title of the work
by
Author of the work
}}}}
yields
