Text Formatting ⇒ Place text between algorithms and adjust

[rumi]

Hi,
I am having issue with adjusting my text beneath specific algorithm, how should i make it work? I am using this code:

Code: Select all

\begin{algorithm}[h]
\caption
\begin{algorithmic}
\Procedure
...
\EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

My text which i need to add beneath it and then next algo..

Hi Rumi,

welcome to the forum! What exactly is the issue with the adjustment? Not left aligned? Indented? Not fully justified? Centered?

Thank u Stefan.. My problem is that I have a two column paper and I want description of each algorithm beneath it i.e rigth after the algorithm. In my case what's happening is, that description of two algorithms gets combined.

Algorithms are intended to float, so LaTeX places them for optimal page breaks and column breaks, to avoid much undesired whitespace when the algorithm doesn't fit to the end of page or column and is moved to the next one.

If you would like to place the algorithm at an exact position in the text, simply use H instead of h, that forces it:

Code: Select all

\begin{algorithm}[H]
...
\end{algorithm}

Btw. next time it would be great if you would post a compilable small example. With the code snippet above, we don't know the document class, or what packages are used, there are algorithm, algorithmic, algorithmicx, algpseudocode, and more.
