OptionExplanation
name of the float class, e.g. image, table
optional positioning key. There are a great many positioning keys defined, and they can be combined (although not all combinations make sense).
split For tables: may split over pages
always Precedence over stored floats
left To the left of the text

outeredge In outer edge area
text In main text area
opposite On the opposite page of a spread
reset ?
height ?
depth ?
[+-]line ?
halfline ?
grid ?
high with "page": like top. with left/right: move up.
low with "page": like bottom. with left/right: move down.
fit with left/right: no distance between float and text
90 Rotation of float and caption
180 Rotation of float and caption
270 Rotation of float and caption
nonumber Suppress the float number
none Suppress the caption, including the "FLOAT 1" label.
