they are where the *reader* expects them to be :-). The author of TeX thought that a machine can best decide where to put a figure because when you write the TeX source you don't know where in the page a particular figure will be placed when rendered as PDF: each time you add a paragraph somewhere, you move everything after it. > Most of the figures are HD screenshots. Moving them around sucks. why? > I'll try the no label thing. But labels are useful. Labels (i.e., identifiers) are useful only when you reference a figure from the text. Captions (i.e., explaining texts) are useful to describe the figure. > HTML export is not doing that. yes, because HTML has not notion of page. PDF is very nice for printing and LaTeX makes sure that figures are nicely placed on the paper. HTML is not meant to be printed. If you print an HTML page, the result is often ugly. > LaTeX is an interim tool to get the PDF output.
