Esteemed community, I have a two column document layout, and am aware that normally I can choose between
- justifying text to the left, which fills unused space from the right, and
- justifying text to the right, which fills unused space from the right.
How can I get alignment that justifies text to the left, but places the entire box of text as far to the right in the column as possible according to the longest line, thus filling unused space from the left?
The solution should ideally only affect odd-numbered pages. Many thanks for your input.
