I need to center the text in this rich text label both vertically and horizontally. I couldn't find any good solutions on google

You can use the [center] tags to center horizontally. RichTextLabel does not have an option for centering vertically though

idk if this will work, but you could try putting the rich text label at the center of the textbox, then changing the grow direction to be "both"

"Note: Unlike Label, RichTextLabel doesn't have a property to horizontally align text to the center. Instead, enable bbcode_enabled and surround the text in a [center] tag as follows: [center]Example[/center]. There is currently no built-in way to vertically align text either, but this can be emulated by relying on anchors/containers and the fit_content_height property."
