Hello back!
Hmm .. intersesting. I am aware that there have been several
solutions, but I worked this one out (just last week! .. I'm a final year
Electrical Engineering student .. just finished my thesis .. and had the
same need as you for immediate documents .. so here's a quickie!).
since @Figures goes into @FigurePlace, all you really need to do is get
an @FigurePlace where you want to place the figure (similar, an @TablePlace for
an @Table). So ... just (in a mydefs, or wherever you place special
definitions) put in something similar to:
extend @DocumentLayout
def @FFiigg { @FigurePlace }
the "extend @DocumentLayout" is needed since we cannot normally use
@FigurePlace in normal documents (it doesn't get exported by DocumentLayout).
Anyway ... you need to also add spaces above and below this (I think ..
perhaps use @TopGap in the definition itself!).
I hope this help .. (perhaps not, given the other replies that you've had.)
But ... perhaps somebody else may like it a little better 8->.
Cheers!
