In the Json template, please add "alignment" attribute to the "textbox" object like it has for "text". For example:

{ "textbox": [x, y, w, h, "text", "fontname" }
{ "textbox": [x, y, w, h, "text", "fontname", color ] }
{ "textbox": [x, y, w, h, "text", "fontname", color, line height] }
{ "textbox": [x, y, w, h, "text", "fontname", color, line height, alignment] }

What's your usecase? IMHO, a paragraph text should (almost) always be left aligned.
For headlines etc, you can use "text" which can be left/center/right alinged.

If I have a multi-line description, I would like to have it wrap and align center or right.
