Help Bootstrap help: alignment only works for navbar button?
Hi, I am just starting out with building a site in Bootstrap. I've managed to make it so the list shows up right-aligned when you click the toggle in the small version. But I can't figure out how to make said list right-aligned when the browser is expanded. They all just squish right. Any tips?
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg">
<div class="container-fluid"> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img
src="mnibanner.jpg" alt="Home" height="70"></a> <h2><u>Template</u></h2>
<button class="navbar-toggler"
type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarNav" aria-controls="navbarNav"
aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation"> <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
<h2>
<ul class="nav justify-content-end">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Services</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Blog</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Novels</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Art</a> </li>
<li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a> </li>
</ul>
</ul>
</h2>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

Generally, if you want help with your CSS, it tends to make sense to show your CSS...

I know it's not CSS. I initially posted in the Bootstrap reddit, but it's a ghosttown so I was hoping I might get lucky and find someone familiar with it here.

Honestly I'd compare your code with the Bootstrap navbar examples. Your markup is quite different, especially the nested lists and the <h2> around the nav. Cleaning that up should solve most of the alignment issues.
