CTAN submission – new version of float package
Date: August 16, 2001 8:33:14 AM CEST
----- Forwarded message from Anselm Lingnau -----
I've uploaded a new version (1.3a) of the float package to
ftp.dante.de:/incoming. This should replace the existing version in
tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported. It is still a LPPL package.
This updates the float package in a number of respects, including
- Introduces new `plaintop' float style
- Introduces `\restylefloat*' command which will restyle floats but
leave their caption processing alone
- List-of-float starting code factored out (for the benefit of
packages like KOMA-Script, suggested by Markus Kohm)
- Adds \float at addtolists command to put something (such as extra
vertical space at chapter boundaries) into all active list-of-float
files
- End-of-float handling simplified according to H.A. Sommerfeldt
----- End forwarded message -----
Thanks for the submission, I installed it as suggested in
CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/float replacing the
old version.

float – Improved interface for floating objects
Improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures and tables. Introduces the boxed float, the ruled float and the plaintop float. You can define your own floats and improve the behaviour of the old ones.
The package also provides the H float modifier option of the obsolete here package. You can select this as automatic default with \floatplacement{figure}{H}.
