How to protect text from being split by a float?

I have quite some images in my report and I insert them with this command I made:

\newcommand{\image}[3]{\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1]{#1}
\caption{#2\label{#3}}
\centering
\end{figure}}

Now, there are a few things that I don't want. I don't want these images to suddenly appear in an itemisation/enumeration, I'd like it if they don't break paragraphs (above or under it is OK) and if possible also in the section I wrote the code in.

First I used the h option (here), but I read you should let LaTeX manage those things and I'm OK with that except the things I listed.

looks pretty similar to how-to-protect-text-from-being-split-by-a-float/, let us know if it is different — cmhughes, Nov 19 '12 at 16:13
Well, the image is allowed to be placed between 2 lists, just not between it's items. — Aaron, Nov 19 '12 at 16:28
as in the linked answer, use \FloatBarrier before the environment, and load flafter package — cmhughes, Nov 19 '12 at 16:43
It's better, but there are a few places now where latx only writes text until half the page, leaves a lot of empty place and then puts it at the bottom of the page... Maybe the 'h' option is better sometimes? — Aaron, Nov 19 '12 at 17:22
never use h on its own, but if h is an acceptable position you can use [htp] or some such, it isn't really feasible to stop top floats coming mid-paragraph though if they fit at the top of the page LaTex doesn't know at that stage how the page break relates to the paragraph end — David Carlisle, Nov 19 '12 at 18:50
You should have a look at How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX? and Keeping tables/figures close to where they are mentioned, which is concerned with float placement/positioning relative to the document content. — Werner, Nov 19 '12 at 20:28
Have you ever tried the placeins package for the last problem? — Vahid Damanafshan, Nov 19 '12 at 20:39
Yes, I ended up using the Float package and H option on some figures that weren't placed like I wanted. — Aaron, Nov 19 '12 at 21:13
