Answer 1

1. Put your span outside the link
2. Make sure your li is in display block (or inline-block with defined width)
3. float right your span

CSS

span { float: right; }

HTML

    <li>
        <a href="#" target="_blank">
            Hvad er Mautic? &emsp;&emsp;&emsp;
        </a>
        <span class="newsDate">06-11-2016</span>
    </li>

Answer 2

You can try this:-

 float:right;

Answer 3

Its contained inside a block element so add "float: right" to those spans to get your right alignment =).

Edit. Someone shot down the float idea in a now deleted comment. Floating does present some layout ugliness for when your text on the left becomes too large. You could instead use a fancy flex solution that will hold up across different context a bit better.

For flex, set the anchor to "display: flex" and the span to "flex: 1; text-align: right; white-space: nowrap;".
