short question about vertical fill

Post by Faust »

Often when I have some text with a graphic (float) or a table and it doesnt fit, TeX will put it on the next page. When the text is not enough to fill the whole page, tex will make more spaces between paragraphs sections etc.

I don't like this layout, so I will insert a \newpage command below the text so this doesnt happen; figure gets placed on the next page and the white space is below the \newpage command.

Is there a global command to make TeX always behave like that?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

The \raggedbottom command is what you are searching for.
