    <abstract>
      Improves the interface for defining floating objects such as
      figures and tables. 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. Also incorporates the H
      option of the superseded <xref refid="here">here</xref>
      package. You can select this as automatic default with
      \floatplacement{figure}{H}.
