Re: [help-texinfo] floats are unbreakable

[Karl Berry]

Hi Akim,

    Will there be a means to use @captions outside floats?  

I'm not sure what that would mean.  Right now, @caption is intimately
associated with floats.
    
    Or will there be breakable floats?

I don't think this is implementable.

How about an empty float after the long example?  I haven't checked if
the output looks reasonable, but it's the only thing that comes to mind.

@example
... pages and pages of text ...
... BTW, maybe @verbatim[include] would be easier? ...
@end example
@float mylongexample
@caption{This is the caption for my long example.}
@end float

Cheers,
k
