Re: [NTG-context] Nested floats

10 Mar 2012

      Hi Marco,
I hesitate to use combinations because Table 1.1 (a) and Table 1.1 (b) 
are not always related to each other. But I will use combinations if 
everything else fails.

Do you have any intuitions as to why the numbering begins at 7? I tried 
to not use the outermost float ("\placetable[here,none][]{}{ ") and it 
still started numbering at 7. I believe this is an issue with nested 
tables, not nested floats.
Best regards,
Prash

I need to create some small tables that are (possibly) next to each other.
Though I could make text flow around tables and appear to the left or
to the right of the table, I could not manage something like this:
I would use combinations for that (see example below).

Nesting floats is not a good idea.

(floats because I want each to have its own number and title).
There are other ways to achieve that.
