Hi,
I've assembled a complex construct of tables and boxes (see lyx14 file).
Ideally, this "construct" (a simplified version of a textual artifact)
should "float" like any figure and ideally be listed as a figure. Is
this possible and if so what effort would it require?
Any imaginative/ creative
Yes it is possible!
I can report it's possible to float (with figure float or text wrap float) a
"Box (Shadowbox)" that contains another "Box (minipage)" containing a table. To
avoid latex errors attention to usage of special formatting features (such as
protect spaces, etc.) might has to be paid
