+% The one potential pitfall with the use of these commands
+% is the situation when a citation is made within
+% the caption of a deferred table or figure.  In this case, the citation
+% is numbered based on when the table or figure is finally displayed,
+% not when it was created.
+% Thus, if |\holdTables| and/or |\holdFigures| is used to prevent the
+% printing of tables and/or figures until the end of the document,
+% then any unique citation defined in a table or figure
+% caption will receive a higher citation number than even a citation
+% appearing in the last line of document text.
+%
+% There is, however, an easy solution to this predicament.  That is,
+% when a figure or table is employed which contains a citation, the
+% main text of the document should invoke |\nocite{|\iq key\_list\uq|}|
+% to the same reference.  This occurance of |\nocite| should be
+% placed in the main document (\textit{i.e.}, outside of |bxtable|
+% or |bxfigure|) at the point where the table or figure is actually
+% being invoked.  In this manner, the citation gets added to the
+% \textit{.aux} file at the proper spot, regardless of when the table
+% or figure is actually printed out.

+% \DescribeMacro{\nextTable}

+% The deferral commands described to this point have been cast in terms
+% of tools to aid in printing out multiple vastly different versions
+% of a document from a single source file.  With \boxhandler v1.10, the
+% commands |\nextTable| and |\nextFigure| have been introduced.  These
+% commands, while somewhat similar in function to |\clearTables| and
+% |\clearFigures|, are useful in a completely different regard.  In the
+% case of |\nextTable| and |\nextFigure|, only a single table or figure
+% is cleared.  Unlike |\clearTables| and |\clearFigures|, the table or
+% figure is not printed on a page by itself, but inline the document.
+% The optional argument specifies the location on the page (|h|, |t|,
+% |b| or |p|) where the
+% table or figure should appear, consistent with \LaTeX{} convention.
+%
+% The unique utility of the |\nextTable| and |\nextFigure| commands
+% is in allowing one to define all the document's figures and tables
+% "up front," at the beginning of the document, perhaps even in a
+% seperate file that is |\input| into the document.  Then, when a table
+% or figure is referred to in the text, all that need be included in
+% the main document is an occurance of |\nextTable| or |\nextFigure|.
+%
+% In this manner, all the tables and figures can be printed out in the
+% document at their appropriate location, while logically, the document
+% can be organized during preparation to keep the figure and table
+% matter separate from the text matter of the document.
+%
+% If one wishes to incorporate conditional compiliation
+% (as in Table~\ref{tbl:bxcode}) while simultaneously keeping table
+% and figure definition in a separate file |\input| at the beginning
+% of the document, this can be done, too.  The tables and figures would
+% be added after the |\begin{document}| command and invocation would
+% be accomplished by way of |\nextTable| and |\nextFigure| as described
+% here.  However, in the |\MANUSCRIPT| preamble (using the nomenclature
+% of Table~\ref{tbl:bxcode}), |\nextTable| and |\nextFigure| would be
+% nullified as:\\
+% |    \renewcommand\nextTable[1][]{}|\\ and\\
+% |    \renewcommand\nextFigure[1][]{}|.\\
+% In this manner, for the |\MANUSCRIPT| report type, tables and figures
+% would be made to not appear until the final invocations of
+% |\clearTables| and |\clearFigures|.
