I'm using \markright
to create a page heading. I'm having trouble centering some text in this heading, and I'd like to know how to do this.
Here's my current setup:
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\TitleString}{This Is The Title}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markright{\TitleString \hfill Matt Groff \hfill}
Title and copyright are above.
\end{document}
I use \hfill
to fill in the space so that my name is close to centered, but for large titles it's way off. Is there a way to fix this? I'd like my name to be completely centered.

Here's a simplified variant of Geoffrey's solution that avoids
\protect
and the doubling of\TitleString
:(Note that there are no spaces before the
\hfill
!)Explanation:
\rlap
writes the text but just "overlaps it to the right" without it taking up any space.
