(Floating does not make sense in other output formats.) In the present version of Texinfo, however, this floating is unfortunately not yet implemented. Instead, the floating material is simply output at the current location, more or less as if it were an <code>@group</code> (see <a href="_0040group.html"><code>@group</code>: Prevent Page Breaks</a>). </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="_0040float.html" accesskey="1"><code>@float</code> [<var>type</var>][,<var>label</var>]: Floating Material</a></li> <li><a href="_0040caption-_0040shortcaption.html" accesskey="2"><code>@caption</code> & <code>@shortcaption</code></a></li> <li><a href="_0040listoffloats.html" accesskey="3"><code>@listoffloats</code>: Tables of Contents for Floats</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
