Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Multiple Listings in a single float

[…] To make this more clear I will change "\DeclareFloatingEnvironment" to "\DeclareFloatingEnvironment offered by the newfloat package" within this paragraph.

Sigh! I simply missed the forest for the trees.

YFTR: The distance between the listing and its caption is a little bit wider than it is for standard floats (like figure). This looks weird if both type appear close to each other.

This should not happen. Do you have a small but complete example document for me which shows this behavior?

Sure:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{frame=single}

\usepackage{caption}

\usepackage{newfloat}
\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[
  fileext=lol,
  name=Listing
]{listing}

%\captionsetup[listing]{skip=4pt}

\begin{document}
  \begin{listing}
    \begin{lstlisting}[gobble=6]
      Listing
    \end{lstlisting}
    \caption{A Listing}
  \end{listing}

  \begin{figure}
    \centering
    \rule{\textwidth}{7mm}
    \caption{A Figure}
  \end{figure}

  This just makes both floats stick to the top of the page.

\end{document}

Note that I commented out the captionsetup line that fixes the problem for me.

As forum won't let me edit my last post (maybe its too old) I'll add this in a new one:

I finally found the problem after it also occurred (but differently) with sublistings. The subcaptions were too far from the actual listing but too close to the main caption. The source of these problems is that before and after each lstlisting there is a fixed amount (\medskipamount to be precise) of vertical space. This can be prevented with

Code: Select all

\lstset{aboveskip=0pt,belowskip=0pt}

and everything looks fine again
