+<h3>"Too many unprocessed floats"</h3>
+<p>If LaTeX responds to a <code>\</code><code>begin{figure}</code> or
+<code>\</code><code>begin{table}</code> command with the error message
+<pre>
+! LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.
+
+See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
+</pre>
+
+your figures (or tables) are failing to be placed properly. LaTeX
+has a limited amount of storage for 'floats' (figures, tables, or
+floats you've defined yourself with the <i>float</i> package); if
+you don't let it ever actually typeset any floats, it will run out of
+space.
+<p>This failure usually occurs in extreme cases of
+
+
+<a href="FAQ-floats.html">floats moving "wrongly"</a>;
+LaTeX has found it can't place a float, and floats of the same type
+have piled up behind it. LaTeX's idea is to ensure that caption
+numbers are sequential in the document: the caption number is
+allocated when the figure (or whatever) is created, and can't be
+changed, so that placement out of order would mean figure numbers
+appearing out of order in the document (and in the list of figures, or
+whatever). So a simple failure to place a figure means that no
+subsequent figure can be placed; and hence (eventually) the error.
+<p>Techniques for solving the problem are discussed in the
+
+<a href="FAQ-floats.html">floats question</a>
+already referenced.
+<p>The error also occurs in a
+long sequence of <code>figure</code> or <code>table</code>
+environments, with no intervening
+text. Unless the environments will fit "here" (and you've allowed
+them to go "here"), there will never be a page break, and so there
+will never be an opportunity for LaTeX to reconsider placement.
+(Of course, the floats can't all fit "here" if the sequence is
+sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, LaTeX won't place any
+more floats, leading to the error.
+<p>Techniques for resolution may involve redefining the floats using the
+<i>float</i> package's <code>[H]</code> float qualifier, but you are unlikely
+to get away without using <code>\</code><code>clearpage</code> from time to time.
