For example, the numbers from my \placelistoftables run in this order: 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 8.6 8.7 8.5 8.9 8.10 8.11 8.12 8.10 *** ****
you mean that there are duplicates?
Duplicates, missings, and strange crossovers.
While \placelistoffigures gives 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.5 8.8 8.6 8.7 8.8 8.9 8.13 *** **** This is disturbing and hard to debug. The person whose thesis this is
hm, sounds new to me, this random ordering
It's not something I imagined you would allow to exist for very long.
I'm trying to avoid panic, but the doctoral thesis where we're running into this needs to be bound on thursday. :)
do you run the latest version?
Very nearly: Mar 4 10:44 context.tex But apparently I was in a little panic. I was misled by the reference naming my partner used. What really caused it was the poorly understood use of \placefigure[always] (from a mysterious hint you sent to the list). My partner really doesn't like TeX's tendency to put floats pages away from where they're named, so she wanted the strongest force option available. We replaced them with [here,force], and everything was made right again. Sorry. I guess I did panic a little. But I clearly need to learn more about the different placement mechanisms sometime. Tomorrow, the exciting world of \makeups... thanks, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
