New Sections in Appendices with only Floats

Post by David Evans »

Hi all,

Apologies if this would be more appropriately posted in the tables and figures section of this forum.

I have a document with several appendices which only contain floats, specifically tables - i.e. there is no text seperating the tables - all the required text is in the table captions. I cannot figure out how to get each new appendix to start on a new page, for example the appendix B header is placed immediately below the last table of appendix A and not on a new page. This is a particular problem because I cannot fit two tables to a page, so the first table of appendix B then starts on a fresh page on its own, which looks strange.

The \newpage command has no effect when placed between appendix sections.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi David,

you could use \clearpage instead of \newpage, besides page breaking this command forces the output of floats.
