this is my first time here, and I have this question:
I'm writing my thesis, that includes many tables and figures in a float
environment, with the caption at the end of it. I defined the space between the end of float's caption and the next paragraph. This works fine, but when I forced to stay when I tiped (with [h]), this space (between caption and next paragraph) is bigger. Of course, one of the items that will be evaluated, is the spaces (they all must be the same).
So, my question is: How can I solve this?
There is an example of the code I'm using: (TexShop —Mac Os 10.6.8)
\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage[spanish,es-lcroman]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[font=small,format=hang,parskip=1pt]{caption}
\usepackage{ctable}
\usepackage{float}
\raggedbottom
\begin{document}
\setlength{\textfloatsep}{10pt}
\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{10pt}
\setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{5pt}
...
\end{document}
[h]
. There's no guarantee that there's sufficient space at the page, so LaTeX itself would even change it to[ht]
. You could use[ht]
yourself, so that it goes to the next page if there's insufficient space left. Btw. if you really mean here, use[H]
. It comes from thefloat
package you already loaded.[H]
, the font's size is bigger!! But, the main problem is that the float w/out the[h]
, goes to the top of the current page, not to the next; with the[h]
, stays where I want, but with this bigger space under the caption. And in some cases, w/out the[h]
the float goes under the\footnote
(under the line and all the footnote's text). I don't now how to post a image of this to prove it![tbp]
. So, LaTeX first attempt to put the float at the top of the page, then the bottom, then on a page of its own.[h]
) or it floats to the next page, the space is bigger.
