Hi,
I've assembled a complex construct of tables and boxes (see lyx14 file).
Ideally, this "construct" (a simplified version of a textual artifact)
should "float" like any figure and ideally be listed as a figure. Is
this possible and if so what effort would it require?
Any imaginative/ creative solutions are welcome. Many thanks!
You can put just about anything in a float. A figure float is in no
way limited to images/graphichs.
I have made many a floating figure consisting of boxes, text,
tables, and sometimes "figures" drawn from math symbols.
The only limitations I have seen so far, is that a float can't
contain page breaks, and shouldn't be taller than a page either.
So, almost anything that can go on a page, will work inside a float too.
The only difference between "figure" floats and "table" floats is the
captions they get - and the former may be listed in the "list of figures"
while the latter may be listed in the "list of tables". They don't
really have
to contain graphichs or tables.
