I'm defining a bottomfigure with default=bottom, but it does not always seem to work (example below). If the float does not fit on the page, it appears instead in the top of the next page. Can I force it to be in the bottom of the next page? That is, can I setup a float that is always at the bottom of the page? I hope what I ask makes sense.

AFAIK location=bottom is always unreliable, it’s a known limitation and you can’t change that.

Do you need it as a float (with caption and all)? Otherwise you could try absolute placement with a layer.

Thank you for your mail, Hraban! It is good to know that the bottom key might be unreliable. I wanted to be able to put floats in bottom, with (unnumbered) captions on top in margin. A bit dual to the mail I sent to the list about topfigures with captions in the margin. As you say, maybe using layers is the best way to obtain what I want. I'm not sure, though, how to place a figure in a layer at the bottom and to prohibit text to go there. /Mikael
