unfortunately, i can't get my hands on that one. I have the Koptka/
Daily _Guide to Latex2e_
But I've tracked a lot of it down; \textfracton was too big, so it
insists on having that much text on a page with floats. Toning that
down gets me close; two figures now appear on pages where they should,
but it fills the rest of the page with text--three lines, one short of
the minimum.
I assume I need something along the lines of widow/orphan control, butt
all I can find in this book is widowpenalty and clubpenalty. I've
looked up every variation of every word that i've thought of vor this,
but i seem to think differently enough from the folks who named this
stuff that it's not much use :(
I suppose I can make the floats a bit bigger, but this gives new
problems if they get longer captions . . .
