37.1 Floating blocks<br />

A block in CONT E XT is a text element, for example a table or a figure that you c<strong>an</strong> process in<br />

a special way. You have already seen the use of \placefigure <strong>an</strong>d \placetable. These<br />

are both examples of floating blocks. The floating mech<strong>an</strong>ism is described in chapter 10<br />

<strong>an</strong>d 11.<br />

You c<strong>an</strong> define these kind of blocks yourself with:<br />

\definefloat[.1.][.2.]<br />

The bracket pairs are used for the name in singular <strong>an</strong>d plural form. For example:<br />

\definefloat[intermezzo][intermezzi]<br />

Now the following comm<strong>an</strong>ds are available:<br />

\placeintermezzo[][]{}{}<br />

\startintermezzotext ... \stopintermezzotext<br />

\placelistofintermezzi<br />

\completelistofintermezzi<br />
