In my Latex project I have defined a new enviroment to be able to reference enumerates.

\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[placement={!ht},name=Liste]{mylist}

The only problem, is when putting the enumerate inside this new environment, it won't split over two pages as it used to? Now it has to skip to the next page to show the whole list on one page?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[norsk]{babel} 
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{newfloat}
\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[placement={!ht},name=Liste]{mylist}

  • are you sure you want a default placement option that includes ! or does not include p ??? (floats are a box and never break, but list items may be referenced anyway why do you need this?) – David Carlisle Apr 23 '15 at 11:33
  • I need this cause I'm not able to reference a normal enumerate, how could I? – miniHessel Apr 23 '15 at 11:34
  • any item may be referenced with \label and \ref in the usual way, how do you want to reference the list as a whole? it normally has no caption or number that you can reference. – David Carlisle Apr 23 '15 at 11:35
  • Thats why I use the floating enviroment, because then it can have a caption. See here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/239112/enumerate-caption-on-itemize – miniHessel Apr 23 '15 at 11:37

    You can use a caption anyway, eg capt-of package, you don't need to make it a float which implies that latex can move the list to a different page if necessary. – David Carlisle Apr 23 '15 at 11:39
  • Your example would be more useful if it was an example of your real problem (having a referenceable caption to a list) rather than an example of a proposed non working solution (putting the list in a float) – David Carlisle Apr 23 '15 at 11:40
  • could you provide a minimal example showing this? It would be great not to use float, and be able to reference it. By the way, placing it in a figure also isn't good, because then the list will be called a "figure". – miniHessel Apr 23 '15 at 11:40

You don't need to make something a float to make it referencable.

\documentclass{article}


\newcounter{mylist}
\makeatletter
\newenvironment{mylist}{\def\@captype{mylist}}{}
\def\ext@mylist{myl}
\def\fnum@mylist{List\nobreakspace\themylist}
\makeatother

See list \ref{zzz}:


\begin{mylist}

  • Now I get this error: The option `hypcap=true' will be ignored for this(caption) particular \caption could that be related to any of my other packages? – miniHessel Apr 23 '15 at 11:57
  • also, when clicking on the reference it makes the caption appear on top of the screen. If you have the caption placed underneath the enumerate, you won't see the enumerate when clicking the reference. – miniHessel Apr 23 '15 at 12:09

Another way, with the capt-of package. This allows you to use the floating environment or non-floating way (shown here) on a case-by-case basis, but retain the same captioning capability in either case.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{capt-of}
\usepackage{newfloat}
\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[placement={!ht},name=Liste]{mylist}
