Don't know either. I suppose it is implemented differently-

 And the solution suggested on the website regrettably does not help in my 
 case: I can't switch the box and figure, as I need the lines of the box to 
 include the figure and, more importantly, the box float is (if I understand 
 correctly) the only multi-page float.
 
 Is there a way to make the figure wrap float non-wrappable, i.e., to have
 no  text at the side(s)?
 
 Thanks again!

Is it really important that your figure floats within the box, or do you just 
need the caption? In the latter case, you can use the nonfloat package.

In preamble:

\usepackage{nonfloat}

In the box:

figure
\figcaption{My figure}

Figure float in multipage box

2014-01-14 Thread Frank Leone 
Dear all,

I am writing down my PhD dissertation and would like:

- A box
- Multipage
- With a figure float in there

I almost succeeded, using a frameless multipage box, but when I insert a
figure float inside the box I get:

! LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.

This is true both in 2.0 and 2.1. When I use a figure wrap float
environment, it however does work! But then it wraps, which I don't want it
to do.
