environment flushright

environment flushright

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

for a translation of poetry, I would like to have an environment which will typeset a split line in a way that the second part will be flushright - is this possible? So instead of

bla bla bla bla
bla

I get 

bla bla bla bla
            bla

if (and only if) there’s a line break.

Thanks, and all best

Thomas

Is indenting a solution for you?

Hi Wolfgang, 

thanks for your suggestion. That’s what I have right now, but this won’t make the lines flushright, and that’s what the publisher wants. I have every line of translation wrapped into an environment, and there is never more that one line break, so my question boils down to: how can I inject a \hfill after this line break? Or any low level trickery with \rlap etc.?

Would it be useful to add this (and middle align last line) as two new 
alignment options?

a suggestion)

My suggestion will be 'lastmiddle' and 'lastright'. Would it be possible 
to define these in such a way that

\startalignment[flushleft,lastright]
  and
\startalignment[normal,lastright]

both "do the right thing". If only lastright (or lastmiddle) is used, that 
should be equal to "normal,lastright".

You can center the last line in a paragraph with the "last" keyword.

When you don’t want a new variable you can use "end".


The alignment doesn’t work well with short paragraphs.

%% begin example
\starttext

\showframe

\leftskip    \zeropoint plus  \plustwo\bodyfontsize
\rightskip   \zeropoint plus  1fill
\parfillskip \zeropoint plus -1fill
\spaceskip   \interwordspace
\xspaceskip  .5\emwidth

What does happen with a short paragraph?

Make it even shorter!

\stoptext
%% end example
