penalty to avoid auto linespread when using floats?

Hi everyone,

Short question. Regularly I use the tabular environment to typeset quoted text in papers. I have noticed that in some cases (xe)Latex squeezes the paragraph before or after the float by adjusting its linespread . How can I avoid that? It looks really crappy.

Thanks for all suggestions ...

can xelatex handle crop@invert option?

Greets,
WC

Two different languages side by side

Hi folks,

I am typesetting a thesis that includes quite a lot of quotes from the Hebrew Bible. There's a few principles I do not fully understand though.

I work with xelatex (texlive, windows and linux). I have a series of poems of various widths and lengths I want to typeset. The english text ...
