I think your best bet is to set a tab that will result in every line being “near center”.

Like if the average line length is 15 characters, create a tab that is maybe 7 characters to the left of center.
Then left align everything, and use grep to insert a tab at the start of every new line,
something like…

Find: ^(.+)$
Replace: $1

I know it’s not exactly what you want, but they will all be near the center
and the left edges of all of these lines will line up. It will probably look ‘good enough’
without spending hours doing it manually.
