Hi,
very often I need to put two short pieces of text in one line such
that the first piece is aligned to the left of the line and the second
one to the right. The way I do it is as following:
piece 1 | piece 2 |
"Fro" next paragraph next paragraph next paragraph next

Try this below (styles declared inside HTML, but easy enough to incorporate
into your external stylesheet).
The idea is that the text 'floats' to either left or right. Note that a
0.5em spacing is applied to left or right to ensure at least a 1em space
between the elements.
Beware of the 'clearright' css class... it may misbehave if you have other
right-floating elements in your page.
Not really sure if it's more 'elegant', but worth consideration?

Burger Koenig, der hamburger fuhrer, uber alles!
As asdf implied, read-up on floats (but don't let them rain on your
parade...)
