大多数人对浮动体的认知错误

[sikouhjw]

大多数人习惯使用 Word，导致他们在使用 latex 的时候认为『浮动体一定要跟在文本引用的附近』。

实际上这是种认知错误，使用者只需要做好交叉引用即可，浮动体的位置在哪，根本无关紧要。

ieee 会议模板的 LaTeX Template Instructions¹中提到：

Authors who wish to have their figures and tables appear at the end of the paper can use the endfloat.sty [13] package to achieve this.

说明浮动体放在最后，也是一种被允许甚至是被要求的风格。

Authors should keep in mind when choosing an appropriate optional placement argument for the figure/table environments that most IEEE journals strongly favor the positioning of floats to the top of the page and rarely, if ever, use bottom floats. IEEE Computer Society journals also favor top floats, but do occasionally employ bottom floats. Furthermore, IEEE journals never place floats in the first column of the first page and rarely (if ever) do they do so in the second column ofthe first page. Middle in-text placement(“here”) is usually not used for IEEE work with one notable exception-IEEE Computer Society conferences.

说明尽量不要使用 [h] 选项。使用 [h] 选项是不好的，按照 latex 的算法去浮动即可。
