Underfull \hbox section title with two column setting

Post by Victor »

Hi everyone!

First of all, I'm new on this forum and have a no experience using LaTeX. Therefore I would like to apologize for any mistakes.

That being said, the subject may not be clear enough thus hopelly this will explain everything : I'm trying to do my own two-columned report with LaTeX. The issue comes while I'm writing the title of a section which is wider than the column itself.

The output is ugly and I have no clue how to solve it.

Code: Select all

\clearpage
\section*{Pourquoi sont-ils persécutés ?}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur...

Hi Victor,

welcome to the forum!

You can use for example sectsty to fix it:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\raggedright}
With a KOMA class, such as scrartcl, I would use a class feature.
