Latex: Text cannot be placed below image
- by Frederik Wordenskjold
I love latex! But sometimes, it does not love me... I'm having a problem with an image and some text. I have this code:
Some text...\\
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{picture.jpg}
\caption{The caption}
\label{fig:picture}
\end{figure}
Some more text...
Basically, I want this:
Some text. (Above image in the code)
[end of page / new page]
image
Some more text. (Below the image in the code)
[start of new section]
But, what the above code gives me is this:
Some text. (Above image in the code)
Some more text. (Below the image in the code)
[end of page / new page]
image
[start of new section]
Latex insists on putting everything but a new section above the image even though its below the image in the code. Its probably because the image floats on top - but whats my alternative? There's not enough space on the first page to display the image there, to I cannot use [h] as the float-alignment.
I can "hack it", by creating an empty new section, like \section*{}, but this creates some white-space, which looks weird. Any suggestions?
