"H" - can only be used alone and mean put it HERE.
"!" - firm. I really want you to do what I say.
"h" - here, if possible
"t" - top, if possible
"b" - bottom, if possible
"p" - ona page of its own, if possible.
Algorithm close to this:
if placement string contains "h" put it here if possible
if not possible and string contains "t" put it at top if possible
if not possible and string contains "b" put it at bottom if possible
if not possible and string contains "p" put it a page of its own (or
with other floats)
as said the order is insignificant.
