spacing
In the following MWE, how can I have Spring 1985-86 flush right but in the same line as ABC with Bolton 808 flush left but in the following line? Would there also be a way using tables or tabular?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{soul}
\title{\ul{Graduate Course} \\ Econometrics Methods I \\ \small Economics 635}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
ABC \begin{flushright}
Spring 1985-86
\end{flushright}
Bolton 808
\end{document}
You can use two more \hfills; the last one requires "something" (\null, which is simply an abbreviation for \hbox{}) to have effect. Another option (see egreg's comment) is to use \hspace{\fill} instead of \hfill and \hspace*{\fill} instead of the last \hfill\null (now, \null is not required). The following example shows both approaches:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{xcolor,subfig}
\colorlet{plotBord}{red}
\colorlet{plotPadd}{blue}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\hspace{\fill}%
\subfloat[htb][left]{\fcolorbox{plotBord}{plotPadd}{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{figs/bla1.png}}}
\hspace{\fill}%
\subfloat[htb][right]{\fcolorbox{plotBord}{plotPadd}{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{figs/bla2.png}}}
\hspace*{\fill}%
\caption[bla]{foobar}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\hfill
\subfloat[htb][left]{\fcolorbox{plotBord}{plotPadd}{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{figs/bla1.png}}}
\hfill
\subfloat[htb][right]{\fcolorbox{plotBord}{plotPadd}{\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{figs/bla2.png}}}
\hfill\null
\caption[bla]{foobar}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
The demo option for graphicx was only used to make my example compilable for everyone (do not use that option in your actual document). I also defined the colors plotBord and plotPadd. The showframe option for geometry was used to draw a frame for visualization purposes. Only the relevant part is shown in the following image:
To duplicate your ASCII art and add a box around it, the following works:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{parskip}% http://ctan.org/pkg/parskip
\usepackage{blindtext}% http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext
\begin{document}
\newcommand{\mytitles}[2]{% \mytitles{<main>}{<sub>}
\noindent\framebox[\textwidth]{\uppercase{#1}\hfill\uppercase{#2}}%
}
\mytitles{Title}{Subtitle}
\blindtext
\mytitles{A longer title}{And a longer subtitle}
\blindtext
\end{document}
The above MWE provides \mytitles{<main>}{<sub>} for setting the <main> and <sub> titles. It creates a box of size \textwidth but corrects for the double \fboxsep and \fboxrule used to surround the titles (using \framebox rather than \makebox). Since the box has a specific width, \hfill "knows" how far to stretch, pushing either titles flush with the (box) margin.
I've introduced \uppercase, but this is not necessary. You can, of course, also change the font shape, as in your MWE:
\newcommand{\mytitles}[2]{% \mytitles{<main>}{<sub>}
\noindent\makebox[\textwidth]{\textit{#1}\hfill#2}%
}
It would also be possible to add more automated checks of title widths (to avoid overlap or encourage wrapping).
Best Answer
You can use
\hfill. You may also want to add\noindentbeforeABCto prevent paragraph indentation.Code
