+as figures and tables.  It introduces the boxed float, the ruled float and the
+plaintop float.  You can define your own floats and improve the behaviour of
+the old ones.  The package also provides the @code{H} float modifier option of
+the obsolete @code{here} package.  You can select this as automatic default
+with @code{\\floatplacement{figure}{H}}.")
