- Anselm Lingnau has recently released version 1.1c of his float.sty
- (available from at least Stuttgart and SHSU). (He claims to have
- announced this on c.t.t, but I must have missed it over Christmas.)
-
- float.sty implements a nice mechanism for defining new float types in
- addition to LaTeX's standard `figure' and `table'.
-
- With the new version, floating environments are all given an optional
- argument, [H], which *FORCES* the float to appear HERE, as opposed to
- the standard [h] argument which just gives LaTeX the *option* of
- putting it in that place.
-
- This [H] mechanism is currently offered by my here.sty (available from
- the usual places) however here.sty and float.sty could not be used
- together, hence this new version by Anselm merging the two styles.
-
- I would be grateful if any users of here.sty pick up a copy of
- float.sty v1.1c and try out the [H] system as implemented there.
- If I do not get any strong objections, I plan to ask the archives to
- *remove* here.sty from public access in the near future.

- [H]appy New Year
