[NTG-context] Nested floats

9 Mar 2012

      Hi,

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:

+--------------------------------------+
|                  |                   |
| Table 1  content | Table 2  content  |
|                  |                   |
| Table 1 TITLE    | Table 2 TITLE     |
|                  |                   |
+------------------|-------------------+

So I tried to use nested floats to achieve this (floats because I want each
to have its own number and title).

Below my mail, I have pasted the code I used to accomplish this. I don't
understand why, but it starts numbering with 7 onwards. Is there a way I can
fix the numbering?
Best regards,
Prash
