Problem

• It would be fantastic if the default text horizontalalignment (left) and verticalalignment (baseline) were documented in matplotlib.pyplot.text.html please.
• For reference, the defaults are not set in rcParams, but in the Text class at lib/matplotlib/text.py here:

def __init__(self,
             ...
             verticalalignment='baseline',
             horizontalalignment='left',
             ...
             ):

There are a few other similar excerpts in text.py for resetting defaults, etc.

Sorry I'm not skilled enough to do a PR myself. [Got it, I believe: #27346] Thank you for your kind consideration of this request.

Suggested improvement

• alongside "horizontalalignment or ha"
  • change: {'left', 'center', 'right'}
  • to: {'left', 'center', 'right'}, default: left
• alongside "verticalalignment or va"
  • change: {'bottom', 'baseline', 'center', 'center_baseline', 'top'}
  • to: {'bottom', 'baseline', 'center', 'center_baseline', 'top'}, default: baseline
