+<h3>Wide figures in two-column documents</h3>
+<p/>Floating figures and tables ordinarily come out the same width as the
+page, but in two-column documents they&rsquo;re restricted to the width of
+the column. This is sometimes not good enough; so there are alternative
+versions of the float environments &mdash; in two-column documents,
+<code>figure*</code> provides a floating page-wide figure (and <code>table*</code> a
+page-wide table) which will do the necessary.
+<p/>The &ldquo;<code>*</code>&rdquo;ed float environments can only appear at the top of a page,
+or on a whole page &mdash; <code>h</code> or <code>b</code> float placement directives are
+simply ignored.
+<p/>Unfortunately, page-wide equations can only be accommodated inside
+float environments. You should include them in <code>figure</code> environments,
+or use the <i>float</i> or <i>ccaption</i>package to define a
+new float type.
