I'm trying to display some text left aligned and right aligned with:
\bf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned \hfil
But the right aligned section leaves a tab of empty whitespace before the end. If I use:
\bf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned \hfil\break
The text is appropriately right aligned, but I don't want the extra break. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the following mechanism will produce a one-line paragraph that starts flush left and ends flush right.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
{\parindent=0pt \parfillskip=0pt
\textbf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned\par
}
\end{document}
if the paragraph is more than one line long, but the flush-right material doesn't fit on what remains of the last line (although it is less than one line long), then the mechanism used for a qed box on a theorem proof, or for the signature on an epigraph, is more appropriate. some possibilities are described here: Moving an object to the right margin
I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\textbf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned \hfil
\textbf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned \hfil\break
\textbf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned \hfill
\textbf{Left Aligned} \hfill Right aligned \hfill\break
\end{document}
produces
\textbf{Left aligned}\hfill Right aligned}and a blank line thereafter should be enough. – Bernard Aug 21 '16 at 16:17
