Hello,

How do I right align a single line, such as:

- foo

So that it is flush with the right margin, like:

                                                                          - foo

If I run M-x set-justification-right, I end up with:

-                                                                           foo

Which is obviously not what I want.

Doing that also results in the rest of what I have to type being right aligned.

Thanks,

Try to stick this in your .emacs:

  (setq adaptive-fill-mode nil)

Alternatively you can customize adaptive-fill-regexp to not include a
dash, so that fill-paragraph and friends still work properly for
e.g. email quotes.

That seemed to do the trick with regard to the dash.

How do I justify a single line to the right, without affecting subsequent lines?

Thanks,

Actually, that didn't work, because now it won't wrap indented blocks.

There used to be a function to do exactly that, back when Emacs was
implemented in TECO and only ran on DEC mainframes.  (It was said that
merely three Emacs users could bring a KL-20 to its knees, although that
was an exaggeration.)

However, I can't find anything, so you will have to roll your own
function and, optionally, assign it to a key.  The required
functionality appears to be in 'justify-current-line', but this really
needs to be called from a wrapper defun -- it's not set up for direct
binding to a key.
