[Tex/LaTex] Raggedleft and raggedright simultaneously

horizontal alignment

This seems trivial, but I'd like a single line to have some text with left-justification and right-justification at the same time, eg.

left text here                                               right text here
normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text,
normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text,
normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text, normal text,

Would it be some combination of ragged lefts and rights? My (non-working) solution would be something like:

{\raggedleft left text here} {\raggedright right text here}

How about \noindent left text here \hfill right text here?

[Tex/LaTex] Errors with ragged-right justification in tables

It's a known issue. When you say \raggedright, the command \\ is redefined. This causes no harm until you want to terminate a table row: LaTeX finds the \\ as defined by \raggedright which doesn't mean the same thing as normally in tabular. Write

\newcolumntype{x}[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

and use \newline if you want to terminate a line in one of the cells. Or use your definition and terminate table rows with \tabularnewline.

[Tex/LaTex] Combining leftskip, rightskip and raggedright

You have to add 20pt to the value of \@rightskip and \rightskip set by \raggedright; with your setting you lose the flexibility of \rightskip necessary for getting a ragged right effect.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
TEXT LEFT \hfill TEXT RIGHT

\begingroup\raggedright\leftskip=20pt \blindtext \par\endgroup
\par\vspace{20pt}

\begingroup\raggedright
\leftskip=20pt
\advance\csname @rightskip\endcsname 20pt \advance\rightskip 20pt
\blindtext \par\endgroup
\end{document}
