question regarding \placefloats
Dear Reader, I have a document with figures and tables. I have tried to use the command \placefloats to create a list of all my floats as recommended on the page Floating Objects, section Flushing floats. There it states: The command \placefloats outputs all pending floats. I hoped to get a list with all tables, all figures and all other possible floats.That list would either be sorted per chapter or sorted per float. However, I was not able to make it work at all. In the appendix, you can find my struggles. First: \placefloats does not work. \placelistoffloats does not exist as a command My solution is two seperate commands, one for the tables \placelistoftables and one for the figures \completelistoffigures. Question: how to use \placefloats correctly to get a list of all floats? Second: \startcombination[1*2] looks nice, but does not add information to the \placelistoffigures . My solution is to place the \startcombination inside a \placefigure. Question: Is there a better way? Kind regards, thanks, Susanne

\placelistoffloats does not exist as a command
My solution is two seperate commands, one for the tables \placelistoftables and one for the figures \completelistoffigures.
Question: how to use \placefloats correctly to get a list of all floats?
Floating objects or floats exist in many instances. One predefined instance is figure and a second is table. So \placelistofINSTANCEs will give you the list. You can define more floating objects, for example a sidebox, etc. The figure and table lists can be combined: \definecombinedlist [figuresandtables] [figure,table] \placelistoffiguresandtables or something like that.
Second:
\startcombination[1*2] looks nice, but does not add information to the \placelistoffigures .
My solution is to place the \startcombination inside a \placefigure.
\startcombination [nx=1,ny=2] % my preferred syntax \stopcombination allows you to create a combined (matrix) of graphics. It is indeed generally used inside a float construct such as \startplacefigure ... \stopplacefigure. By the way, "alternative=label" is a favorite of mine, making it unnecessary to explicitly include labels, as in: \startcombination [nx=1,ny=2,alternative=label] {My top graphic} {My bottom graphic} \stopcombination rather than \startcombination [nx=1,ny=2] {My top graphic} {a} {My bottom graphic} {b} \stopcombination Alan
