LaTeX Document cuts off

TeX - LaTeX Asked by namsam on February 27, 2021

I created a document with sections and subsections and made it a table of contents. There are about twenty sections. However, after the 9th section, a new page doesn’t start, rather it cuts off so I can’t see the rest of the document. I added test text, but it still didn’t work. Does anyone know why this is? Below is my code:

One Answer

As muzimuzhi Z noted, the problem here is that LaTeX doesn't want to break between section headings that are in close succession. This is normally the desired result since you wouldn't want a page break between, e.g., the headings for a section and a subsection that begins the section.

If you look in your log output, you'll see an overfull vbox warning which is indicating that the content on the final page is extending beyond the normal page vertically.

You can just put some dummy text in each subsection to allow LaTeX to do the page breaks and all will be well.
