-<h3>&#8220;Too many unprocessed floats&#8221;</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
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-! LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.
-
-See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
-</pre>
-
-</blockquote><p>
-your figures (or tables) are not being placed properly. LaTeX
-has a limited amount of storage for &#8216;floats&#8217; (figures, tables, or
-floats you&#8217;ve defined yourself with the <i>float</i> package); if
-something you have done has prevented LaTeX from typesetting
-floats, it will run out of storage space.
-<p/>This failure usually occurs in extreme cases of
-<a href="FAQ-floats.html">floats moving &#8220;wrongly&#8221;</a>;
-LaTeX has found it can&#8217;t place a float, and floats of the same type
-have piled up behind it.
-<p/>How does this happen? &#8212; LaTeX guarantees that caption numbers are
-sequential in the document, but the caption number is allocated when
-the figure (or whatever) is created, and can&#8217;t be changed. Thus, if
-floats are placed out of order, their caption numbers would also
-appear out of order in the body of the document (and in the list of
-figures, or whatever). As a result, enforcement of the guarantee
-means that simple failure to place a float means that no subsequent
-float 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/>An alternative <em>may</em> be to use the <i>morefloats</i> package.
-The package will allocate more &#8220;float skeletons&#8221; than LaTeX
-does by default; each such skeleton may then be used to store a
-float. Beware that even with <i>morefloats</i>, the number you can
-allocate is limited; even with the <i>etex</i> package (which makes
-available many more registers, etc., than LaTeX does by default;
-e-TeX can create lots more registers, but none of those &#8220;beyond
-the original TeX default&#8221; may be used in float skeletons). Thus,
-<i>etex</i> may offer some relief, but it can <em>not</em> be
-regarded as a panacea
-<p/>The error also occurs in a long sequence of float environments, with
-no intervening text. Unless the environments will fit &#8220;here&#8221; (and
-you&#8217;ve allowed them to go &#8220;here&#8221;), 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&#8217;t all fit &#8220;here&#8221; if the
-sequence is sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, LaTeX
-won&#8217;t place any more floats, leading to the error.
-<p/>Techniques for resolution may involve redefining the floats using the
-<i>float</i> package&#8217;s <code>[H]</code> float qualifier, but you are unlikely
-to get away without using <code>\</code><code>clearpage</code> from time to time.
