How can I remove the warning

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 4 \OT1/cmr/m/n/10 test

in the following MWE ?

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\leavevmode\hbox to3cm{test}Hello
\end{document}

  • the latex syntax would not need leavmode or hbox \makebox[3cm][l]{test} Aug 19, 2021 at 11:56
  • The TeX syntax would be \hbox to 3cm{test\hfill}. Aug 19, 2021 at 13:50
  • @campa I voted to undelete yours as it explained why the message happens, I would have said something about that if your answer hadn't been there already. Aug 20, 2021 at 10:08

The latex syntax for this adds the glue to stop the underful message (and \leavevmode)

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\makebox[3cm][l]{test}Hello
\end{document}
