Support for floating bodies

Question

Just tried to write a paper for a conference. It looks quite
nice in the end, but it was a bit of a hassle to get there.
Buzzword is currently nice for documents of a designed nature, but
not for structured documents, such as scientific papers. However,
the very nature of Buzzword should fit in with joint authoring and
reweving of papers and articles amongst scientist.
My problem was to include illustrations that spans the entire
row, together with a caption. I solved this by inserting the image
into a two-row single column table, with the image in the first
row, and the caption in the second. The problem is, that if the
image doesn't fit the rest of the paper, it is moved to the top of
the next, leaving the rest of the previous page blank. A classical
problem, really. So I had to manually move these tables around in
the text to avoid half-empty pages.
I think authors shouldn't bother themselves too much with
this.
This could be solved by introducing
floating bodies, bodies that are anchored to a specific
point in the text, but will be moved around automatically to
optimal positions. A floating body consist of a content part, which
can hold an image, a table, a piece of source code, an equation, or
some other text, together with an optional caption.

Hi arenol,
Thanks for your post, and for your feedback. I myself have
been using Buzzword for scientific collaboration, and have noticed
as well, in my usage, that the image floating could be improved on.
We certainly appreciate users lettings us know how you would
like to see the services improved, and we certainly take your ideas
to heart.
I will pass your thoughts on to the rest of the team as
something to be considered for future versions.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Pete
