Explanation / Answer
The table environment is intended to automatically position tables so they fit nicely into the flow of your document.
For example:
egin(table)[parameter]
.......
end(table)
A position parameter, inside brackets, can be passed to the table environment (as shown above). This parameter can take the next values:
To pass the absolute value in the numerator:
Define a new command at the beginning of the document as:
and use it in a fraction as:
... rac{bsval{numerator}}{denominator}.
Parameter Position h Place the float
here, i.e.,
approximately at the same point it occurs in the source text (however, not
exactly at the spot) t Position at the
top of the page. b Position at the
bottom of the page. p Put on a special
page for floats only. ! Override internal parameters LaTeX uses for determining "good" float positions. H Places the float at precisely the location in the LATEX code. Requires the float package. This is somewhat equivalent to h!.
