One can justify a value of <code>5pt</code> (in place of -<code>0pt</code>) — it’s roughly the difference between <code>\</code><code>topskip</code> -and the height of normal (<code>10pt</code>) text. -<p/>Note that this is a “global” setting (best established in a class -file, or at worst in the document preamble); making the change for a -single float page is likely (at the least) to be rather tricky. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=vertposfp">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=vertposfp</a> -</body> |
