float. Floating tables do not necessarily appear in the output
document in the location in which they appear in the DocBook
input, they may move when this improves the overall document
layout. Non-floating tables always appear in the rendered
document in the same place as they appear in the input DocBook
document.</p><p><a id="nonfloating_table_desc"></a>Informal tables never float.
Tables that do not float are processed using the
<span class="package">longtable</span> package. Unlike the methods used to
process floating tables, tables processed with
<span class="package">longtable</span> may span page boundaries. Floating
tables may not cross page boundaries and so may not be larger than
a single page.</p><p><a id="longtable_limits"></a>The <span class="package">longtable</span>
package is limited in that titles must be positioned at the top of
the table. This limits the positioning of non-floating table
titles to the top of the table.</p><p>When <em class="parameter"><code>table.in.float</code></em> is
<code class="literal">0</code> formal tables do not float.</p><p>The default is <code class="literal">1</code>, formal tables
float.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="table.default.tabstyle.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="apas08.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="table.title.top.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">table.default.tabstyle </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> table.title.top</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
