I'd like to express a rule that would float figures in this way:

1. To the top of the page.
2. If there's already a figure at the top of the page, then float to the bottom of the page.
3. If there's already a figure at the bottom of the page, or there isn't enough room left, then float to the top of the next page.

In other words a maximum of two figures per page: the first at the top and the second at the bottom.

That's not possible, as far as I can tell, with any of

float: top

float: bottom

float: prince-snap

float: next

by themselves, but maybe a combination of

float: top bottom next

might be one way to express this?

Hi,

We're currently in the process of adding features like this for column floats, and are planning to do the same for page floats soon. I'll keep you posted

Hi,

The new Prince 14 release contains support for lots of new float features. In particular, you can express the above requirements by using

-prince-float: page;
-prince-clear: end;

In addition, the behaviour of "snap" now falls back to "page" if the snapped location is unavailable.
