The result of this is a message that there is an {\it overfull} -or {\it underfull} box. Chapter \ref{parcont} suggests increasing the -value of |\tolerance| and |\pretolerance| so that \tex\ will accept worse -looking lines. This is fine except that the result is less than beautiful. - -\tex\ indicates an overfull box by putting a big ugly black line at the end. -This book has a few overfull boxes to demonstrate how they look. This chapter -suggests ways of both avoiding and hiding overfull boxes. - -\shead{overcomform}{Command Forms} -\bshortcomlist -\pri\@|\hfuzz [=] <dimen>|&\tex\ tells of overfull horizontal boxes only if -they are overfull by more than |<dimen>|. {\it Plain} default is 0.1pt. \cr -\pri\@|\overfullrule [=] <dimen>|&\tex\ places a rule or line of width -|<dimen>| at the end of an overfull box and of the same height as the box.\cr -\pri\@|\vfuzz [=] <dimen>|&\tex\ tells of overfull vertical boxes only if -they are overfull by more than |<dimen>|. {\it Plain} default is 0.1pt. \cr -\eshortcomlist - -\shead{action}{Overfull Boxes --- Action} -The recommended way to handle an overfull box is to rewrite the passage that -is causing the offence. This will generally work quite well if the box is an -isolated event. It has the feature of not destroying the beauty of the -document. - -However, if you want to hear about overfull boxes but don't want the black -marks let |\overfullrule = 0pt|. If you don't want to hear about them, -increase the size of |\hfuzz| and |\vfuzz|. -|\finalversion| increases |\hfuzz| and obliterates the black marks. - -Overfull |vboxes| are quite rare, as are underfull |hboxes|. If there is an -underfull |hbox|, check it very carefully. The most likely error is not -putting in glue to fill in the box. An example would be using |\line| -instead of |\centerline|. - -Underfull |vboxes| are not as rare. They result when the |vboxes| -on the page are quite large and the glue between them is not very stretchy. -Pages with figures, tables or multicolumn format are the most likely -candidates. The only solution may be a rearrangement of material in the -document, forced filling of the bottom of the page. \tex\ provides a -\@|\raggedbottom| command that puts glue at the bottom of a short page to -prevent it from being stretched out. Whether this is an adequate solution to -the problem is a matter of aesthetic debate. -In general, information about over and under full boxes is desirable. - -\begingroup \bf -When \tex\ indicates that there is an underfull box, it stretches, unless -|\raggedbottom| is active, all stretchable glue. This may result in pages -that look strange. Only glue between paragraphs, before and after display -mathematics, between all list items, and before section \dots\ heads is -stretchable. Interline glue is not stretchable either in {\it Plain\/} or -\intex. In extreme cases (badness greater 10000) the page will have very -disturbing spacing indeed. -\par\endgroup - - -\ejectpage -\done
