<fig-group>

Related Essay: For a discussion on the use of <fig-group>, see Figures and Graphics.
Position: The @position attribute may be used to indicate whether this element must be anchored at its exact location within the text or whether it may float, for example, to the top of the next page, into the next column, to the end of a logical file, or within a separate window.
