Text Formatting ⇒ Header not flushed completely to the right

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi all.

Consider the following MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\def\@part[#1]#2{%
    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
      \refstepcounter{part}%
      \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\thepart\hspace{1em}#1}%
    \else
      \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}%
    \fi
    {\parindent \z@
     \interlinepenalty \@M
     \normalfont
     \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
       \Large\bfseries\hfil\partname~\thepart\hfil
       \par\nobreak
     \fi
     \huge\bfseries\sffamily\raggedleft #2 %%% This is where I change how the headline looks.
     \markboth{}{}\par}%
    \nobreak
    \vskip 3ex
    \@afterheading}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\part{Some random test in order to get at headline that is longer than the textwidth}
\end{document}

As you can see from the MWE, the last line in the header (here, ``textwidth'') is not flushed completely to the right. (I have not noticed this before, even though I have used this modified \part for some time.)

How do I fix this?

Thank you in advance!

The space after #2 is relevant here - just remove it. At many places a space would be ignored, such as when it just marks the end of a macro name, but it can be relevant white space, such as between words.

Code: Select all

\huge\bfseries\sffamily\raggedleft #2%%% This is where...

Now it's flushed right:

I was (obviously) not aware of this.

Thank you, Stefan!
