Floats in text only for figures (PDF)

[jgeller112]

Hi,

In my qmd document: https://github.com/jgeller112/L2_VWP_Webcam/blob/main/_manuscript/L2_VWP_webcam_ET.qmd the floats arg is set to true, however, when rendered only figures are placed in-text

See: https://github.com/jgeller112/L2_VWP_Webcam/blob/main/_manuscript/L2_VWP_webcam_ET.pdf

In addition, code wrap does not work for PDF?

The apaquarto extension makes use of the apa7 LaTeX package to convert to .pdf. The float mechanisms are not something I have a lot of control over. It looks to me that LaTeX placed Table 1 into the text but could not fit Table 2 into the text, so it defaulted to placing it and all subsequent tables at the end.

For code wrapping, put this in your setup chunk:

knitr::opts_chunk$set(tidy.opts=list(width.cutoff=60), tidy=TRUE)

Make sure that the formatR package is installed.

Thanks for the quick response!

it looks like

documentmode: doc 

floats in-text but not man or jou

Failing to float in text is usually because the algorithms that latex uses fail. That is, it cannot find a good place to fit large plots or a series of plots in a short span of text. This problem happens a lot. There are many suggestions for what do to next. For example, this page suggests resetting the defaults: https://aty.sdsu.edu/bibliog/latex/floats.html
