\begin{document}
\maketitle
\textbf{Task 1} \newline
Task description: \newline
\end{document}
When compiling, it warns about line
\textbf{Task 1} \newline
With the following message:
"Underfull \hbox (badness 10000)".
How do I fix this?
An underfull hbox means LaTeX couldn't space the line wide enough to fill the entire width of the page, without increasing word spacing beyond the allowed maximum; the opposite is an overfull hbox, where a line couldn't be broken and extends past the edge of the printable area.
For underfull boxes Overleaf will also report TeX's so-called “badness” ( badness <value> ) which is a measure of how much TeX has needed to “stretch” your content to fill space set aside to contain it. Badness values normally range from 0 to 10000.
Correct the compile warning: overfull \hbox (or bad box). Whenever you see a \hbox message, you can either: rewrite the lines shown in the warning message so that the message disappears. insert \- (hyphenation) into a place of the word where causes overfull.
A overfull hbox means that an horizontal box (hbox) is "full", that is, some text/math/glyph is "leaking out" of the box assigned to it. In your case, what you wrote is larger than the paragraph's width, and TeX couldn't fix it on its own.
I had a similar issue, I solved it by removing any \newline
or \\
at the and of every sentence that had nothing textual below.
For instance, two examples that causes that problem:
An example. \\
This is well used. \\
This line will cause the error. \\
(I'm a new paragraph) \\
Because there's nothing directly underneath.\\
The last line does NOT require a "newline".
This is a thid paragraph. \\
:D
The same is true for figures or similar
This is a line.
Putting a "newline", as here, before a \begin will cause the error. \\
