Aligning minicolumn with tcolorbox

Aligning minicolumn with tcolorbox



I'm trying to align two minipage environments to the page margins (the left minipage to the left margin and the right minipage to the right margin) but it does not seem to work. I also need a space between the two minipages and this is why I gave .45textwidth as parameter instead of .5textwidth to the minipage environments.

.45textwidth

usepackage[a4paper,top=15mm,bottom=10mm,left=15mm,right=15mm]geometry
usepackagetcolorbox
usepackagelipsum
begindocument
thispagestyleempty
beginminipage.45textwidth
raggedleft
begintcolorbox

lipsum[1-2]
endtcolorbox
endminipage%
beginminipage.45textwidth
raggedright
begintcolorbox
centering
lipsum[3-4]
endtcolorbox
endminipage
enddocument



Could you please tell me how to align the columns?
Below is the output of my example:

Add hfill between the two minipages:

If you are using tcolorboxes, you can include them inside a tcbraster. By default columns are aligned to left a right margins and inter column space is 2mm, but you can change it with raster column skip value:

tcbraster


raster column skip

usepackage[a4paper,top=15mm,bottom=10mm,left=15mm,right=15mm]geometry
usepackage[most]tcolorbox
usepackagelipsum
begindocument
thispagestyleempty
lipsum[1]
begintcbraster[raster columns=2, raster column skip=1cm]
begintcolorbox[halign=center]
lipsum[1-2]
endtcolorbox
begintcolorbox[halign=center]
lipsum[3-4]
endtcolorbox
endtcbraster
enddocument
