I am writing a lab report formatted in two columns. It is set to two columns at the beginning by\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twocolumn]{article}
, rather than using the multicols
package, because I use a lot of single column floats that multicols
does not seem to support.
Unfortunately, it seems that twocolumns
does not support wide floats as well as multicols
does. According to the wiki wide floats in this format are only allowed at the top of a page, or on a new page. There is a partial fix listed there to allow placement at the bottom of pages, although this didn't work for me. Neither does the built-in positioning work properly - asking for the float to be put at the top of the page seems to put it at the top of the NEXT page. Even if there are multiple wide floats, they all get put on the next page.
So, my question is this: is there any way to make wide floats obey the tbH
position commands like the single-width ones, without using multicol
?
Thanks
