Force impagination sequence

Question

I want to force my document to be in this order:

• text

• tabular

• image

This group is repeated some times; as you can imagine the compiler mix the elements (e.g. text1, tab1, text2, tab2, img1, img2).

How can I force the correct order?

Answer 1

Have a look at the endfloat package, especially at sections 3.4 and 7 of its manual.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[nolists,nomarkers,tablesfirst]{endfloat}
\renewcommand{\efloatseparator}{\vspace{\floatsep}}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}
\centering
(Tabular material)
\caption{A table}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\centering
(Tabular material)
\caption{Another table}
\end{table}

\end{document}
