I hope it's FOSS, otherwise it won't be much use - there won't be any way to know if it will work in a couple of years. > There will be floating containers (also with text flowing around). We will probably keep the amount of "intelligence" low for more predicatability. So you would specify top or bottom and it would be placed on the next page with free space. If it's not too 'intelligent', I hope there is - at a minimum - a floating image command that basically says 'place this floating image so it stays on the same page as this current line'. Currently I'm placing every float about 30 lines before where I want it and hoping for the best. It'd be a lot easier to just say 'place this float 50 lines back, typeset the page, and if the image is not in the right place, then start again 20 lines back', then loop until it's at no lines back or until it's with the right text. That's ugly coding, but less ugly than the current hacks I do with LaTeX. I hope the project goes well, and hope to see it in the standard repos before long. |
