# Find Overfull Boxes Tool
Use `tools/find_overfull.py` to find overfull hbox/vbox warnings in LaTeX log files.
## Usage
**Basic usage (parses .log file for a .tex file):**
```bash
python tools/find_overfull.py $ARGUMENTS[0]
```
**Filter by box type:**
```bash
python tools/find_overfull.py <file>.tex --vbox-only # vertical overflow (too tall)
python tools/find_overfull.py <file>.tex --hbox-only # horizontal overflow (too wide)
```
**Filter by severity:**
```bash
python tools/find_overfull.py <file>.tex --min-badness 10 # only boxes > 10pt overfull
```
**Output formats:**
```bash
python tools/find_overfull.py <file>.tex --pages-only # just page numbers, one per line
python tools/find_overfull.py <file>.tex --json # JSON format
```
## Output
The tool reports:
- Page number where overflow occurs
- Type (hbox = too wide, vbox = too tall)
- How much it overflows (in pt)
- Source line number in .tex file
- Context (problematic content)
## Notes
- Requires the .log file to exist (run pdflatex first)
- Looks in `build/` directory for log files by default
