+<h3>Floats in multicolumn setting</h3>
+<p/>If you use
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\begin{figure}
+ ...
+\end{figure}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+in a <code>multicols</code> environment, the figure won&rsquo;t appear. If
+instead you use
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\begin{figure*}
+ ...
+\end{figure*}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+the figure will stretch right across the page (just the same as a
+<code>figure*</code> in standard LaTeX&rsquo;s <code>twocolumn</code> option).
+<p/>It&rsquo;s possible to have single-column figures and tables with captions,
+using the &lsquo;<code>[H]</code>&rsquo; placement option introduced by the <i>float</i>
+package but you might have to fiddle with the placement because they
+won&rsquo;t &lsquo;float&rsquo;, and exhibit other strange behaviours (such as silently
+running off the end of the column at the end of the
+<code>multicols</code> environment).
