General ⇒ Bad Boxes and Warnings

[vini]

I have added a lot of figures and used the setting [h] so that they should appear where I have placed the creation. The first problem is that the pictures do not appear where they should be and the second problem is I have around 25 warnings saying I have changed the float specifier from [h] to [ht] which is not true!
Another problem is the bad boxes for my table. I have specified a width for my columns so that the headings can flow on two lines, but I am getting underfull and overfull bad boxes! I cant seem to get rid of them.
Could you please help me to rectify the problem

Thanks

It's not you who changes the figure parameters, the compiler does. The reason is that a single [h] doesn't make any sense. Change the positioning parameters to [!ht]. The "!" slackens the strong rules for setting floats and the warnings will disappear. Moreover, the floats should be placed better and come up more to your ideas, but only if they fit to the remaining space on the page where they were defined in the source code. At this point it is recommended to read the l2picfaq, but at the moment they are only provided in German language. The work on an English version is in progress.

You have to help the compiler with correct hyphenation. First of all, choose the correct settings for the babel package regarding your language. At next, set the right encoding for a better hyphenation.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}        % enable Cork Encoding
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc]   % special language dependent characters

Do not choose the width of your table columns too low. It is always difficult then to divide the words. So adapt the width a little bit to avoid the bad boxes.
