If you want to use center tag (as described above) on rst2html.py (Docutils 0.12), you should create a css file, namely mystyle.css by adding the following line to it:

.center {text-align: center;}

For converting your rst file, namely, myrst.rst to html file, use the following command

rst2html myrst.rst myrst.html --stylesheet=mystyle.css,html4css1.css

By using this method, the following code works well.

.. class:: center

This paragraph will be centered.
