When I write a document, I get always Underfull and Overflow warnings. I know what do these warnings mean.

I want to know what LaTeX (TEX I guess) does to format a paragraph. I mean, how it decides where to break a line, for example. I have got an Underfull warning on paragraph I wrote (sorry I don't have it now); as a result, I got a part of the word development (lopment) written in the margin.

Why does LaTeX not wrote deve- in the first line and lopment in the next line?

  • TeX is usually able to hyphen dev-el-op-ment; if it doesn't, then something that you're not telling is happening: is it a part of a compound word? – egreg May 29 '14 at 18:03
  • Are you using the correct language on babel? I've seen this behavior because people don't use the right hyphenation patterns for the language the are writing in. – Mario S. E. May 29 '14 at 18:05
  • Yes I have used the right package. @egreg How Tex decide how to hyphen a word? – Hunsu May 29 '14 at 18:05
  • Please, make an example with the code. – egreg May 29 '14 at 18:06
  • I don't have the code. Your comment helped me to understand why we get Underfull warnings. I didn't know that there are rules to hyphen. – Hunsu May 29 '14 at 18:14

    @user230137 He wants the code to produce your document and be able to reproduce exactly your problem. You must have that code :) Starting from \documentclass and ending with \end{document}. – Manuel May 29 '14 at 18:16
  • @Manuel I don't have it. I have changed my paragraph and I don't remember what I wrote the first time. – Hunsu May 29 '14 at 18:26
