Align last word of paragraph to right with raggedright
I want to align the last word of a paragraph to the right like this example from The TeXbook.
This works great with a justified paragraph, but fails with a raggedright
paragraph.
In case it's relevant, my specific example in the MWE example below includes a slightly more complicated paragraph setup for typesetting psalms based on code from this answer.
There are two issues with my current set up.
- The second to last word in the paragraph wraps on to the last line even when there is space for it on the previous line.
- The last word of the paragraph (Selah) is not set flush right.
I also want to avoid hyphenation.

Looks like you can slightly modify the scripture_selah
definition. I added the hspace*{0.025textwidth}
just to make sure there is some extra space, so that Selah
is padded and not immediately flush (if there is enough space, e.g. with him.'
).
(version using only primitives)
cs_new:Nn scripture_selah:
{
hfillnull%
penalty -5%
nullhfill%
kern 1emscripture_format_selah:n {Selah}%
skip_vertical:n { -baselineskip }
leavevmode
}
(minimal changes version)
cs_new:Nn scripture_selah:
{
{
unskip
hfil
penalty 50
hbox:n {}
nobreak
hspace*{fill}
scripture_format_selah:n { hspace*{0.025textwidth}Selah }
parfillskip = 0pt
finalhyphendemerits = 0
endgraf
skip_vertical:n { -baselineskip }
leavevmode
}
}
(version with minimal code)
cs_new:Nn scripture_selah:
{
{
hfil
penalty 50
hspace*{fill}
scripture_format_selah:n { hspace*{0.025textwidth}Selah }
skip_vertical:n { -baselineskip }
leavevmode
}
}
This works in the particular example that you provided. I am not sure if this will robustly work in every situation that you will be using it in.
EDIT:
I was looking more into hbox:n
and I really don't think you want to use it here (see my "version with minimal code"). It is meant roughly as a hook just before par
. If you wrap scripture_format_selah:n
within hbox:n
(i.e. hbox:n {scripture_format_selah:n ...}
, you will get the same result as without using hbox:n
in this situation. Therefore, I opted to ignore it.
Thanks. I'll do some experimenting. I don't claim to fully understand the code from the TeXbook, but my use case is simpler in some respects so the code may be able to be simplified.

BTW, usinghspace*
is essentially doing the same as thehbox:n{}nobreak
, so you're still using it.

@DavidPurton I added a new version (at the top) using only plain TeX primitives. Not sure if you prefer this one, but it works because of thepenalty -5
which coaxes a line break (but not strongly). For example, it still produces the image above, but for #2, if you deletehim
thenSelah
jumps up to the same line as the text.

@DavidPurton I added a new version (at the top) using only plain TeX primitives. Not sure if you prefer this one, but it works because of thepenalty -5
which coaxes a line break (but not strongly). For example, it still produces the image above, but for #2, if you deletehim
thenSelah
jumps up to the same line as the text.

Thanks. I'll do some experimenting. I don't claim to fully understand the code from the TeXbook, but my use case is simpler in some respects so the code may be able to be simplified.

BTW, usinghspace*
is essentially doing the same as thehbox:n{}nobreak
, so you're still using it.
