And the famous passage in Ecclesiastes 3 is printed in Hebrew Bibles thus:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
etc.
In those Hebrew passages one needs to mark exactly where the longer space should be added and it cannot be defined for all the lines. But except that the positioning can be automatic, more or less like a center-aligned or right-aligned tab in common word-processing software.
Perhaps the wikisyntax could be || in the middle of the line; this is the same as in tables, therefore easy to remember, and unlikely to appear in actual text.
I don't see what should be the actual HTML that this would produce though.
This is surely an ideal case for using HTML tables, since this kind of layout is explicitly tabular.
