orgmode aquivalent of hfill?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I am currently writing an org document which I would like later to
convert to odt.

Moreover I want to have a structure, which in latex would look like this

My name \hfill You name.

So on the left margin is on element and on the right margin another with
a variable empty space between them. Can I do something like this using
the org syntax?

thanks

It seems that the verse environment does what I want, it is however
exported in a ugly font (type writer), how can I change that font.

See the manual, section 12.9.4 "Applying custom styles".

AFAIK there's not.  If you can find out what the syntax for that is in odt
you can make a macro.

That section is a very general one, I cannot find anything about the
verse environment and its setting.

The section is general because it tells you how to style *everything*,
including, but not limited to, verse environments. When exporting to ODT
you don't set fonts for particular environments in Org-mode. Rather, you
use an application like LibreOffice to modify and save a stylesheet, and
tell Org-mode what stylesheet to apply to exported ODT.

Export a document to ODT with the ugly verse environment, then either
locate the 'OrgVerse' style in the LibreOffice 'Stylist' and edit it
there, or simply right-click on a verse and choose 'Edit Paragraph
Style' from the menu. Choose a different font. Change any other styles
(e.g. headings) as you like. Save the modified document in a convenient
place, then use it as an Org ODT styles file as described in the manual.

Christian

After modifying the odt file this way, I haved it as ott and included as
a style file in my org file, worked nicely
