Float Placement: New page, uninterrupted text?

JohnGalt · Post by **JohnGalt** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 1:20 pm

Dear community,

I have recently started writing my master thesis using LyX. The options available in LyX are amazing, however there is one thing I could not figure out:

I have a float which I would like to print on a standalone page after it has been referenced in the text. Now I know that I can manually achieve this by using page breaks, but I would prefer the rest of the document to simply 'flow past' this float page as if it would not exist (i.e. paragraphs may be continue past this float page).

If someone else already asked a similar question I would of course also appreciate it, if you could refer me to their solution. My own search, however, did not yield any useful results.

I hope you can help me!

I don't know how to do this with LyX, but somewhere in the options to the float might be a float position specifier. Choose p as the value.

Hi John,

you can right click the float, and open the options window (or click to mark, and go via the main menu).

This is the options window with the correct setting for your case:

This is what Johannes meant, it's the "p" option in LaTeX, or "Page" in LyX.
