I would like to split 10 subfigures over two pages (6 at the bottom of one page, 4 at the top of the next page). I am using \ContinuedFloat for that. To set the position of the two blocks, I wrote [!b] and [ht] for each one, respectively.

However, I get a full page of text between the two blocks of figures. If I write [H] instead of [ht], I get the second block (figures 7-10) above the first one (figures 1-6).

Does anybody have an idea how to solve it? Thank you in advance.

Try this code. I replaced the xxx.eps with test images of width=0.5\linewidth and added a clearpage after the sixth figure to clear the floats.

Since you are using two figures environments you need to set/reset the figure and subfigure counters or use \ContinuedFloat after starting the second figure.

  • Hi Simon,Thanks a lot for your reply. I appreciate it! It works now! However the numbering of the figures of the second block is now a, b, c, d..instead of g,h,i,j.... Do you know if it is posible to correct it? Thanks again! – CRH Dec 02 '20 at 14:10

    @CRH You are right. I updated the answer. – Simon Dispa Dec 02 '20 at 14:28
  • @ Simon Dispa, Perfect. It works now. Thanks a lot. – CRH Dec 02 '20 at 14:44

This solution is based on Place figure at bottom or top of next page. It allows one to break between any set of subfigures.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% missing files
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\makeatletter
\AddToHook{shipout/background}{%
  \def\reset#1{\ifnum\count#1=52 \global\count#1=54% [b]
    \else \ifnum\count#1=36 \global\count#1=54\fi% [b!]
    \fi}% convert [b] of [b!] to [bt]
  \let@elt=\reset
  @deferlist}
\makeatother
