-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label figurehere</title>

-<h3>Figure (or table) <em>exactly</em> where I want it</h3>
-<p/>This is of course a contradiction: <code>figure</code> and
-<code>table</code> are <em>designed</em> to float, and will always have
-the potential to appear away from where you asked for them. Therefore
-you have to find a means of getting the caption and other effects
-without allowing the figure or table to float.
-<p/>The most straightforward way is to use one of the <i>float</i> or
-<i>here</i> packages; they give you a <code>[H]</code> float placement
-option that prevents floating:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{figure}[H]
- \centering
- \includegraphics{foo}
- \caption{caption text}
- \label{fig:nonfloat}
-\end{figure}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-As the example shows, these <code>[H]</code> figures (and correspondingly,
-tables) offer all you need to cross-reference as well as typeset.
-<p/>However, you don&#8217;t actually <em>have</em> to use <i>float</i> (or
-<i>here</i>) since it is, in fact, doing rather little for you.
-You can place your figure as you please, with a sequence like
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{center}
- \includegraphics{foo}
- \captionof{figure}{caption text}
- \label{fig:nonfloat}
-\end{center}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which relies on the <code>\</code><code>captionof</code> command to place a caption in
-ordinary running text. That command may be had from the extremely
-simple-minded package <i>capt-of</i> or from the highly
-sophisticated <i>caption</i> package.
-<p/>Using either method, you have to deal with the possibility of the
-figure or table being too large for the page. (Floating objects will
-float away in this circumstance; &#8220;doing it by hand&#8221;, like this, you
-take upon yourself the responsibility for avoiding
-&#8216;<i>Overfull <code>\</code><code>vbox</code></i>&#8217; errors.
-<p/>A further problem is the possibility that such &#8220;fixed floats&#8221; will
-overtake &#8220;real floats&#8221;, so that the numbers of figures will be out
-of order: figure 6 could be on page 12, while figure 5 had floated to
-page 13. It&#8217;s best, therefore, either to stay with floating figures
-throughout a document, or to use fixed figures throughout.
-<p/>If it&#8217;s really impossible to follow that counsel of perfection, you
-can use the <i>perpage</i> package&#8217;s command <code>\</code><code>MakeSorted</code>
-command:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-...
-\usepackage{float}
-\usepackage{perpage}
-\MakeSorted{figure}
-\MakeSorted{table}
-...
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-and the sequence of float numbers is all correct.
