Otherwise, \clear(double)page, h(!), H from the +float package, or \FloatBarrier from the picins package might help. + +Note: The original main code of this package +(without \extrafloats from LaTeX 2015) was invented by +Don Hosek, Quixote, 1990/07/27 (Thanks!). +Maintenance has been taken over in September 2010 by H.-Martin M\"{u}nch. + +This material is published under the LPPL 1.3c: This work may be +distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project +Public License, either version 1.3c of this license or (at your option) any +later version.

Thus you can directly unpack the +ZIP file inside a TDS tree. +See https://www.ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation +of TDS. +Example: + cd /...somewhere.../texmf + unzip /...downloadpath.../morefloats.tds.zip +Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this +TDS tree. +Example: + texhash /...somewhere.../texmf +(and check for old morefloats.sty at other locations in your + TeX installation). + +Manual installation +------------------- +a) Download the morefloats files from CTAN. + If necessary, unpack them. +b) Check for old morefloats.sty at other locations in your + TeX installation and delete them (or back them up, + but in a way TeX does NOT find them automatically). +c) Generate the package and driver files: + tex morefloats.dtx +d) Install the file `morefloats.sty' in your TDS tree: + cp morefloats.sty TDS:tex/latex/morefloats/ + Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree + (texmf directory). +e) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g. + pdflatex morefloats.dtx + makeindex -s gind.ist morefloats.idx + pdflatex morefloats.dtx + makeindex -s gind.ist morefloats.idx + pdflatex morefloats.dtx +f) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX: + mktexlsr .../texmf +g) Create the morefloats-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g. + pdflatex morefloats-example.tex + pdflatex morefloats-example.tex + pdflatex morefloats-example.tex +h) Copy the documentation files to + "TDS:doc/latex/morefloats/": + README, morefloats.pdf, morefloats-example.tex, + morefloats-example.pdf. + + +4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES +===================== + +morefloats itself loads the kvoptions package: +https://ctan.org/pkg/kvoptions +which again loads other packages +(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file + of the example). +When an old LaTeX format is used, additionally the +https://ctan.org/pkg/ifetex +package is used. + + +5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY +======================= + +There are no known incompatibilities. + + +6 AUTHORS/MAINTAINER +===================== + +* Author of the original main code: + Don Hosek, Quixote, 1990/07/27 (Thanks!) +* Author of the recent package and current maintainer: + H.-Martin Münch + + +7 BUG REPORTS +============== + +A bug report should contain: +* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or + warning messages. +* \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the + TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages. +* Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not + contain any unnecessary packages and code. +* Used drivers/programs. +* Version information about used packages and programs. +* If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then + a list of version information is printed at the end + of the LaTeX run. +* Please no other files than the minimal test file. + The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom + necessary, so send them only on request. +* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them! + +Bug address +----------- +Bug reports can be send to the maintainer: + H.-Martin Münch + <Martin [dot] Muench [at] Uni-Bonn [dot] de> + + +8 KNOWN PROBLEMS +================= + +* If you request too many floats, (La)TeX will run out of + memory. When testing, this happened when requesting + more than 1570 (!) floats.
