Question: I'm creating a layout with Jetpack Compose and there is a column. I would like center items inside this column:

```
 Column(modifier = ExpandedWidth) {
        Text(text = item.title)
        Text(text = item.description)
 }

```

Answer: 
I don't like it too much, but this is what it worked to me:

```
Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
                horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally,
                verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center) {
                //Your composable elements
            }

```

Compose 1.0.0-beta07
To center horizontally

```
Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()) {
        Text(text = item.title)
        Text(text = item.description)
 }

```

To center both horizontally and vertically in the parent surface

```
Column(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().fillMaxHeight(), verticalArrangement = Arrangement.Center) {
        Text(text = item.title)
        Text(text = item.description)
 }

```
