General ⇒ float in between sections

[waxranger]

Hello folks

I'm writing some labreports and some sections contain only few text with sometimes floating figure environments. does latex take the right to place figures in other sections, even if the figure environment is set in another section? is that because of the floating parameter? in my case I use [!htb]

I tried to set no float parameters but the result is the same. how can I prevent latex doing so?

thanks for taking the time

Hi Fab,

you could use the placeins package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[section]{placeins}

Hi Fab,

yes: The TeX Catalogue Online.

It has a very useful topical index where you can find packages related to certain topics, a brief and an alphabetical index.
