-This is the file `00readme.flt', which accompanies the `floatflt'
-package distribution. The package defines environments for figures
-and tables which do not span the full width of a page. The 'floatflt'
-package is is an extension of Thomas Kneser's style option 'floatfig.sty'
-for LaTeX 2.09, on which it is based. To use the package, run LaTeX on
-`floatflt.ins', this produces the files `floatflt.sty', which contains
-the macro definitions, and the file `floatexm.tex', which is an example
-of the use of the package. To obtain the userguide and documentation,
-run LaTeX on `floatflt.dtx' twice. To obtain the example, run LaTeX
-on `floatexm.tex' twice.
-
-The 'floatflt' package consists of two files:
- floatflt.ins - the installation driver
- floatflt.dtx - the macro code, instructions on how to use
- the package, an example, and the original
- documentation by Thomas Kneser, all in
- `docstrip'-able format.
-Anyone is free to re-distribute these files provided the restrictions
-mentioned in 'floatflt.ins' are obeyed. These are mainly that the
-two files always must be distributed together and that noone is
-allowed to distribute the files for profit.

-\noindent TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous
-I had been and am; but why WILL you say
-that I am mad? The disease had sharpened
-my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above
-all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things
-in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things
-in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how
-calmly, I can tell you the
-whole story.

-It is impossible to say how first the idea entered
-my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day
-and\linebreak night. Object there was none. Passion there
-was none. I loved the old man. He had never
-wronged me. He had never given me insult. For
-his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye!
-Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that
-of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film over it.
-Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and
-so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind
-to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself
-of the eye for ever.

-Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen
-know nothing. But you should have seen me.
-You should have seen how wisely I proceeded --
-with what caution -- with what foresight, with what
-dissimulation, I went to work! I was never kinder
-to the old man than during the whole week before
-I killed him. And every night about midnight I
-turned the latch of his door and opened it oh, so
-gently! And then, when I had made an opening
-sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern all
-closed, closed so that no light shone out, and then
-I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed
-to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it
-slowly, very, very slowly, so that I might not
-disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to
-place my whole head within the opening so far that
-I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would
-a madman have been so wise as this? And then
-when my head was well in the room I undid the
-lantern cautiously -- oh, so cautiously -- cautiously
-(for the hinges creaked), I undid it just so much
-that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye.
-And this I did for seven long nights, every night
-just at midnight, but I found the eye always closed,
-and so it was impossible to do the work, for it was
-not the old man who vexed me but his Evil Eye.
-And every morning, when the day broke, I went
-boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously to
-him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and
-inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see
-he would have been a very profound old man, indeed,
-to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I
-looked in upon him while he slept.

-Upon the eighth night I was more than usually
-cautious in opening the door. A watch's minute
-hand moves more quickly than did mine. Never
-before that night had I felt the extent of my own
-powers, of my sagacity. I could scarcely contain
-my feelings of triumph. To think that there I was
-opening the door little by little, and he not even to
-dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly
-chuckled at the idea, and perhaps he heard me, for

-and the old man sprang up in the bed, crying
-out, ''Who's there?''
-
-I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole
-hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime
-I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting
-up in the bed, listening; just as I have done night
-after night hearkening to the death watches in the

-Presently, I heard a slight groan, and I knew it
-was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of
-pain or of grief -- oh, no! It was the low stifled sound
-that arises from the bottom of the soul when
-overcharged with awe. I knew the sound well. Many
-a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept,
-it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening,
-with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted
-me. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old
-man felt, and pitied him although I chuckled at
-heart. I knew that he had been lying awake ever
-since the first slight noise when he had turned in
-the bed. His fears had been ever since growing
-upon him. He had been trying to fancy them
-causeless, but could not. He had been saying to
-himself, ''It is nothing but the wind in the chimney,
-it is only a mouse crossing the floor,'' or, ''It is merely
-a cricket which has made a single chirp.'' Yes he
-has been trying to comfort himself with these
-suppositions; but he had found all in vain. ALL IN VAIN,
-because Death in approaching him had stalked with
-his black shadow before him and enveloped the
-victim. And it was the mournful influence of the
-unperceived shadow that caused him to feel, although
-he neither saw nor heard, to feel the presence
-of my head within the room.
-
-When I had waited a long time very patiently
-without hearing him lie down, I resolved to open
-a little -- a very, very little crevice in the lantern.
-So I opened it -- you cannot imagine how stealthily,
-stealthily -- until at length a single dim ray like the
-thread of the spider shot out from the crevice and
-fell upon the vulture eye.
-
-It was open, wide, wide open, and I grew furious
-as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness
--- all a dull blue with a hideous veil over it that
-chilled the very marrow in my bones, but I could
-see nothing else of the old man's face or person, for
-I had directed the ray as if by instinct precisely upon
-the damned spot.
-
-And now have I not told you that what you mis-
-take for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses?
-now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick
-sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in
-cotton. I knew that sound well too. It was the
-beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury
-as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into
-courage.

-But even yet I refrained and kept still. I scarcely\linebreak
-brea\-thed. I held\linebreak the lantern motionless. I tried
-how\linebreak stead\-ily I could\linebreak
-maintain the ray upon the eye.
-Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased.
-It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder,
-every instant. The old man's terror must have
-been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every
-moment! -- do you mark me well? I have told you
-that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead
-hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that
-old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to
-uncontrollable terror. Yet, for some minutes longer
-I refrained and stood still. But the beating grew
-louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst.
-And now a new anxiety seized me -- the sound would
-be heard by a neighbour! The old man's hour had
-come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern
-and leaped into the room. He shrieked once -- once
-only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and
-pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled
-gaily, to find the deed so far done. But for many
-minutes the heart beat on with a muffled sound.
-This, however, did not vex me; it would not be
-heard through the wall. At length it ceased. The
-old man was dead. I removed the bed and examined
-the corpse. Yes, he was stone, stone dead. I placed
-my hand upon the heart and held it there many
-minutes. There was no pulsation. He was stone
-dead. His eye would trouble me no more.

-If still you think me mad, you will think so no
-longer when I describe the wise precautions I took
-for the concealment of the body. The night waned,
-and I worked hastily, but in silence.
-
-I took up three planks from the flooring of the
-chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings.
-I then replaced the boards so cleverly so cunningly,
-that no human eye -- not even his -- could have
-detected anything wrong. There was nothing to wash
-out -- no stain of any kind -- no blood-spot whatever.
-I had been too wary for that.
-
-When I had made an end of these labours, it was
-four o'clock -- still dark as midnight. As the bell
-sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the
-street door. I went down to open it with a light
-heart, -- for what had I now to fear? There entered
-three men, who introduced themselves, with perfect
-suavity, as officers of the police. A shriek had been
-heard by a neighbour during the night; suspicion
-of foul play had been aroused; information had been
-lodged at the police office, and they (the officers)
-had been deputed to search the premises.

-\caption{A \texttt{floatingtable} with the \texttt{p}

-\end{floatingtable}
-I smiled, -- for what had I to fear? I bade the
-gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my
-own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned,\linebreak was
-absent in the country. I took my visitors all over
-the house. I bade them search -- search well. I led
-them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his
-treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm
-of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room,
-and desired them here to rest from their fatigues,
-while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect
-triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot
-beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.
-
-The officers were satisfied. My MANNER had
-convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat
-and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of
-familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting
-pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and
-I fancied a ringing in my ears; but still they sat,
-and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct:
-I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling:
-but it continued and gained definitiveness -- until,
-at length, I found that the noise was NOT within my
-ears.
-
-No doubt I now grew VERY pale; but I talked
-more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet
-the sound increased -- and what could I do? It was
-A LOW, DULL, QUICK SOUND -- MUCH SUCH A SOUND AS A
-WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON. I gasped for
-breath, and yet the officers heard it not. I talked
-more quickly, more vehemently but the noise
-steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles,
-in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but
-the noise steadily increased. Why WOULD they not
-be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy
-strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of
-the men, but the noise steadily increased. O God!
-what COULD I do? I foamed -- I raved -- I swore! I
-swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and
-grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over
-all and continually increased. It grew louder --
-louder -- louder! And still the men chatted
-pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard
-not? Almighty God! -- no, no? They heard! --
-they suspected! -- they KNEW! -- they were making
-a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this
-I think. But anything was better than this agony!
-Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I
-could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I
-felt that I must scream or die! -- and now -- again
--- hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER! --
-
-''Villains!'' I shrieked, ''dissemble no more! I
-admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here!
--- it is the beating of his hideous heart!''

- \title{\LaTeX-Paragraphs Floating around Figures}
- \author{{\it Thomas Kneser}\\{\footnotesize
- Gesellschaft f\"ur wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung
- mbH G\"ottingen, FRG}}
- \date{August 20, 1990}
- \maketitle
- %
- \begin{abstract}
- %
- \noindent Frequently figures do not fill the full pagewidth.
- If the width of such figures is only half of the
- pagewidth or even less,
- textlines should be set beside the figures,
- or -- from another point of view -- figures should `float'
- in paragraphs.
- This article presents the \LaTeX{} style option {\tt FLOATFIG}
- which can be used to set such Floating Figures as easily
- as \LaTeX's standard figures.
- \end{abstract}
- %
- \section{The name of the game}
- The macros which make up the {\tt FLOATFIG} style option
- are based on PLAIN-\TeX\ macros developed by Thomas Reid
- (TUGBoat Vol. 8 \# 3 page 315), who pointed out
- how to set figures
- {\bf right justified} with paragraphs floating around them.
- For such objects
- Th. Reid has chosen the term `Floating Figures'.
-
- This choice might cause some confusion,
- when we adapt these macros for \LaTeX,
- since Leslie Lamport uses the term `float' for objects
- which are realized as \TeX-\verb+\inserts+.
- While L. Lamports floats are floating in `main vertical list',
- floats introduced by Th. Reid
- are floating in paragraphs.
- For the following we adopt the latter meaning.
- \section{How to use it}
- The Floating Figures style option is fully compatible with
- \LaTeX's standard figure facility:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item Floating Figures and standard figures may be requested
- in any sequence,
- \item Floating Figures can be captioned like standard figures,
- \item captioned Floating Figures are inserted in the list of figures
- which may be printed by the standard
- \verb+\listoffigures+ command.
- \end{enumerate}
- A Floating Figure may be requested as follows:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \documentstyle[floatfig]{article}
- \begin{document}
- \initfloatingfigs
- .
- .
- \begin{floatingfigure}{5.6cm}
- \vspace{6.cm}
- \caption{Intermolecular potential K-Xe}% optional !
- \end{floatingfigure}
- .
- .
- \end{document}
- \end{verbatim}
- where {\tt 5.6cm} specifies the width of the figure space.
- A Floating Figure may only be requested in vertical mode, that is
- between paragraphs.
-
- A Floating Figure will be set as soon as possible after its request
- has be encountered by \TeX.
- That means,
- it will be tested if there is enough vertical space
- on the current page;
- otherwise the figure moves to the next page.
-
- Floating Figures are set {\bf alternating},
- that is on the right hand side on odd and
- on the left hand side on even numbered pages.
- %
- \subsection{Restrictions}
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item The {\tt FLOATFIG} style option may not be combined with the
- {\tt TWOCOLUMN} style option,
- \item a Floating Figure will never appear in a paragraph
- which begins on top of a page.
- \end{enumerate}
- %
- \section{About the internals}
- %
- We have extended the macros designed by Th.~Reid with regard to:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item implantation into the \LaTeX{} context,
- \item alternating setting of Floating Figures as explained above,
- \item generation of warning messages for `collisions' of
- two Floating Figures.
- \end{enumerate}
- %
- \subsection{Implantation into the \LaTeX{} context}
- The PLAIN-\TeX{} implementation by Th.~Reid
- is based on a redefined \verb+\output+ routine:
- %
- \begin{verbatim}
- \edef\oldoutput{\the\output}%
- \output={\the\outputpretest\ifoutput\oldoutput\fi}
- \outputpretest={\outputtrue}
- \end{verbatim}
- %
- If a Floating Figure is requested,
- the content of the
- \verb+\outputpretest+ token register is prepared to decide:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item if there is enough vertical space to set the Floating Figure,
- \item if setting of a Floating Figure is in progress or
- \item if indeed the current page has to be sent to the DVI file.
- \end{enumerate}
- %
- In general, \TeX{} has to deal with more than one paragraph until
- a Floating Figure will be completely processed.
- During this process
- the redefined \verb+\output+ routine is
- called at the begin of {\bf every} paragraph;
- this is done indirectly
- by expanding the control sequence \verb+\tryfig+.
- Therefore, the \verb+\everypar+ token
- list is prepared by the following command sequence:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \edef\oldeverypar{\the\everypar}
- \everypar={\tryfig\oldeverypar}
- \end{verbatim}
- Now \verb+\tryfig+ triggers the (modified)
- \verb+\output+ routine, which then does the decisions
- and actions mentioned above.
-
- Adopting this concept when using the macros in the \LaTeX{} context,
- we are faced with the following problems:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item At the time \hbox{\tt FLOATFIG.STY} is read in,
- the \verb+\output+ routine is still undefined;
- its definition is retarded until
- \verb+\begin{document}+ will be expanded;
- so the redefinition of the \verb+\output+ routine has to be
- done after \verb+\begin{document}+
- by the command \verb+\initfloatingfigs+
- (see section `Known Problems' below).
- \item There are situations where
- \LaTeX{} decides to redefine the \verb+\everypar+ token list
- without saving of the former content;
- this occurs for instance when expanding
- a \verb+\section+ control sequence.
- We overcome this by redefining \verb+\everypar+ whenever
- the \verb+\floatingfigure+ environment is entered.
- %
- Hence to avoid problems, a Floating Figure should be requested
- early enough before any sectioning control sequence
- (see also subsection `Misleading collision warnings').\hfil\break
- %
- Furthermore, the concurrent definitions of
- \verb+\everypar+ are the reason why
- Floating Figures cannot move across section boundaries.
- \end{enumerate}
- %
- \subsection{Alternating figure setting}
- The problem to be solved
- is to decide if a certain figure has to be set
- left- or rightjustified.
- This decision has to made according to
- the value of the pagecount (left if even, right if odd).
- That is we are dealing with the wellknown problem
- to associate a certain part of input text with the number
- of the page on which it will be set finally.
-
- As pointed out by D.E. Knuth in `The {\TeX}book' this association
- is done not before \verb+\output+ routine time.
- But the problem is not so hard to solve,
- since in Th.~Reid's version there is already a modified
- \verb+\output+ routine which decides if a certain figure will
- fit on the current page.
- As a by-product of this decision one easily gains
- the information `odd' or `even' for the pagecount
- of the current page.
- So our problem reduces to the following simple decision:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \ifodd\count0 %
- \hbox to \hsize{\hss\copy\figbox}%
- \global\oddpagestrue
- \else% leftsetting
- \hbox to \hsize{\copy\figbox\hss}%
- \global\oddpagesfalse
- \fi% \ifodd\count0
- \end{verbatim}
- %
- \subsection{Collisions of Floating Figures}
- We define a collision as a situation where:
- \begin{enumerate}
- \item a Floating Figure is requested before the predecessor
- has been finished,
- \item some sectioning is requested before a Floating Figure has been
- finished.
- \end{enumerate}
-
- While the {\tt FLOATFIG} style option cannot avoid such collisions,
- it will recognize them.
- For diagnostic purposes we have therefore defined
- the switch \verb+\iffigprocessing+ and another count register called
- \verb+\ffigcount+.
- This count register is used to attach
- a sequence number to each Floating Figure,
- so they can be identified uniquely within collision warning messages.
- These sequence numbers are not to be confused
- with the figure count maintained by standard \LaTeX.
- %
- \section{Known Problems}
- \subsection{Need of Initialization}
- The present version of the style option needs to be initialized
- by control sequence
- {\tt\verb+\initfloatingfigs+} as mentioned above.\footnote{%
- This is not needed with \LaTeXe{}. /MD}
-
- We hope a later version will initialize itself,
- when the first request to a Floating Figure is encountered.
- One problem with such an automatic initialization seems
- to be,
- that we are grouped down
- since we are inside a \LaTeX{} environment.
- Our first attempt failed
- to make the respective settings \verb+\global+.
- %
- \subsection{Misleading collision warnings}
- As mentioned above, Floating Figures do not move
- across section boundaries.
- If a Floating Figure is requested near a section end,
- the figure will be truncated,
- if it does not fit in the current section.
-
- If this occurs for instance with floating figure number~4,
- a collision will be reported when the request for
- floating figure number~5 is encountered;
- so the respective warning message may be substantially retarded.
- In fact, the message will tell us that there is a problem with figure~4,
- but there will be no further hint.
- So one has to analyze `by hand' that the problem is {\bf not} caused
- by collision with figure~5 but with a section heading;
- even worse: if there is no floating figure~5, one gets no warning message
- at all.
-
- Furthermore, warning messages will be generated if a Floating Figure
- ends in paragraph $n$ and the next one begins with paragraph $n+1$.
- These warning messages are to be ignored; they are due to some retardation
- caused by the \verb+\everypar+ mechanism.
- %
- \section{Conclusions}
- Working on \texttt{FLOATFIG.STY} we had some unexpected problems
- which were caused
- by \LaTeX's somewhat unsafe assignments to the \verb+\everypar+ token list.
- This is due to the fact that the use
- of this token list is fundamental
- to the algorithm designed by Th.~Reid.
- On the other hand we did expect problems to couple
- the Floating Figures with \LaTeX's figure caption adminstration,
- that is to achieve a single figure caption numbering for
- the standard figures and the Floating Figures and to get both types
- listed by the \verb+\listoffigures+ control sequence.
- %
- But these problems could easily be solved
- by the following local definiton within the {\tt FLOATFIG} environment:
- \begin{verbatim}
- \def\@captype{figure}
- \end{verbatim}
- Obviously this is due to the fact
- that \LaTeX's caption apparatus is thoroughly parameterized.
-
- The \verb+FLOATFIG.STY+ file is stored in the
- {\tt EARN/BITNET} listserver
- in Heidelberg; \hfil\break
- {\tt VM/CMS} users should enter the commands:
- \begin{verbatim}
- TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET LATEXSTY INDEX
- TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET LATEXSTY README
- TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET LATEXSTY FILELIST
- TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET FLOATFIG ZOOUUE LATEXSTY
- \end{verbatim}
- to obtain information about how to obtain the style option file.
