Page break inside a float

Post by PEMAMETAL »

[Hello,

I am kind new to Lyx. think it is awesome, but I am having this problem wich I couldn't find a solution.

I inserted a figure float with 11 subfloats inside it. So I have subfigures from a to k. The problems is the float is too big for one page and instead of the figures from g to k show in the next page, they are out of the limits of the page. I tried to insert a page break inside the float with no success, is there a way to properly do what I want to?

Thanks

Images are floating to optimize page breaks and page height balance. A huge float or even a multi page float doesn't really match that purpose. The true float way would be splitting into several floats, such as 11 sub floats, to get perfect page breaks and text height balance without too much white space at the end of pages. You may thing about the numbering, but that's another point, the first ones are the space and the placement.
