How to set margin-right to the end of the text-CodePudding

How would I set the right margin automatically to the end of the "contact" tab and not at the end of the page?

nav{
    position: relative;
    margin-right: auto;
    width: auto;
    height: 50px;
    background: #f563ff;
    border-radius: 8px;
    font-size: 0;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 3px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.1);

If you want to set a margin rigth only to "contact" select its class and aplly it. If it doesn't have class so use nt

ul{
    background-color: aquamarine;
    text-align: end;
}

li{
    display: inline;
}

li:nth-child(4){
    margin-right: 50px;
    background-color:bisque
}

You can use last-child properties and work well for the last menu

ul li:last:child{padding-right:30px;}
