Tables and Figures immediately go to top of page?
Hi, first of all thank you so much for making this beautiful template! I'm using it for my undergraduate senior thesis and it has been a life saver.
As for my question -- I've been using \begin{table} and \begin{figure} to create nice tables and figures with captions. However, no matter where I put these lines of code, the table and figure always end up at the top of my next page or in a place I cannot control. Is there a way for me to specify the location of the table and figure (e.g. after a section heading)?
Thank you!
Usually, you want your figures after you have referenced them in the text, right? Therefore at the beginning of a section does not seem useful to me.
This template does not include the float package, therefore I only found the only working options to be [t] (top) or [b] (bottom). latex handles the rest:
\begin{figure}[b]
If you really want manual figure placement, load the float package in the preamble:
\RequirePackage{float}
and force the location with [H], like this:
\begin{figure}[H]
