<floats-group> Floating Element Group

Container element for floating objects (figures, tables, text boxes, graphics, etc.) that occur within a book, book part, or book part wrapper. Occurs outside of the narrative flow of any book or book part.

Usage/Remarks

Some publishers like to collect all the floating objects (such as tables and figures) at the end of a book or book part rather than interspersing them throughout the document where they are referenced. The <floats-group> element is not part of the narrative flow of a book or book part; rather, it holds graphical and tabular resources used in the body, back matter, etc. At the book level, floating groups are placed within the back matter of the book (<book-back>). Book parts such as chapters (<book-part>) may hold their own floats groups in their back matter (<back>).
