Well, +it <em>is</em> what the documentation says: LaTeX, unadorned, only +allows full-width floats at the top of a page, or occupying (part of) a +float page. +<p/>The <i>stfloats</i> package ameliorates the situation somewhat, and +makes LaTeX honour ‘[b]’ placement as well; the +<i>dblfloatfix</i> package combines a tidied version of the changes +made in <i>stfloats</i> with the + + <a href="FAQ-2colfltorder.html">float ordering corrections</a> defined in + <i>fixltx2e</i>. +<p/>A particular problem with <i>stfloats</i> and <i>dblfloatfix</i> +is that the float will appear, at its earliest, on the page after it +is specified. This has two undesirable side-effects: first, there may +be no bottom float on the first page of a document, and second, float +numbers may become “entangled” (particularly if you’re using +<i>dblfloatfix</i> that ensures that the early-specified bottom +float is set <em>before</em> any single column floats). +<p/>(The FAQ team doesn’t know of any package that will make +LaTeX honour ‘[h]’ placement of double-column floats, but the +<i>midfloat</i> package can be pressed into service to provide +something approximating the effect it would have.) +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>dblfloatfix.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/dblfloatfix.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/dblfloatfix.sty</a> +<dt><tt><i>stfloats.sty, midfloat.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of + <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools.zip">macros/latex/contrib/sttools</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfloat</a> +</body> |
