To use it, declare +"\usepackage{placeins}" and insert "\FloatBarrier" at places that floats +should not move past, perhaps at every "\section". + +Option: [section] + +A more convenient way to stop floats at section boundaries is to change +the definition of "\section" to include "\FloatBarrier", either at the +beginning, before "\@startsection", or in the `style' specification (see +The LaTeX Companion, section 2.2.2; or 2.3 in the 1st ed). If you specify +"\usepackage[section]{placeins}", then the "\section" command will be +redefined with "\FloatBarrier" inserted at the beginning. + +Options: [above] [below] + +Something you may not like is that, by default, "\FloatBarrier" is very +strict, and will (try to) prevent a float from appearing above the start +of the current section or below the start of the next section, even +though the float is still on the same page as its intended section. +Each restriction can be relaxed separately by using the "[above]" and +"[below]" package options: "[above]" allows floats to appear above their +section, if on the same page; "[below]" allows below. + +NOTE! The original version of placeins.sty acted like it was loaded +with the option "[above]" specified. + +There is a problem with LaTeX's "\suppressfloats" being out of step with +the page breaking (see usenet msg and thread) +which sometimes allows a float to go above a "\FloatBarrier" placed near +the top of a page. Maybe placeins will fix it sometime later. + +Option: [verbose] + +There is a package option "[verbose]" that causes many messages to be +written in the log file. It might be used to answer the question: +`How did *that* get *there*?!?' + -- cgit v1.2.3
