This looks like a prime candidate for refactoring into a helper,  
actually:

   <p<%= my_custom_p_attrs %>>Paragraph</p>

With the corresponding helper definition:

   def my_custom_p_attrs
     attrs = ""
     attrs << %{ style="text-align: center"} if @has_style
     attrs << %{ ...} if @show_another_attribute
     attrs
   end
