I'm using the multicol
package, along with embedded images. A minimal example would be:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{mdframed}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newenvironment{Figure}
{\par\medskip\noindent\minipage{\linewidth}}
{\endminipage\par\medskip}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{Figure}
\begin{mdframed}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,height=1.5in,draft]{foo.jpeg}
\captionof{figure}{Some small image.}
\label{fig:Abb12}
\end{mdframed}
\end{Figure}
\lipsum[3-4]
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
See paragraphs one and two in the left column: They're placed to the top and bottom of the column, which introduces quite some blank vertical space in between. Is there a way that I can push all content to the top, having the excess whitespace at the bottom (instead of showing up between the two paragraphs?) So my intended output would be like this:
| par 1 par1 | figure 1 |
| par 1 par1 | figure 1 |
| par 1 par1 | |
| | par 3 |
| par 2 par2 | par 3 |
| par 2 par2 | |
| | par 4 |
| here the | par 4 |
| whitespace | par 4 |
instead of:
| par 1 par1 | figure 1 |
| par 1 par1 | figure 1 |
| par 1 par1 | |
| | par 3 |
| here be | par 3 |
| whitespace | |
| | par 4 |
| par 2 par2 | par 4 |
| par 2 par2 | par 4 |
