Uhr? Paul, I mean, where does the flowing text stop? What's the indicator that the text should flow, to the prior page, and stop, in the body of the text, where? I'm not explaining this well, methinks. (Sorry, back injury, and I'm just NOT myself.)

At least, that's the cheap way to do it. TeX might also choose to put the image at the bottom of the page that would have contained the marker if the image wasn't at the bottom of it. that is, TeX can back-track its layout decisions to make a better layout.

But even just a 'put this element at the top of the next page' would be a splendid tool.

But there's so many things missing from ePub that would make book creators lives easier, and result in better looking books.
No, no, I mean--and maybe this is what you mean--what/where/how is the marker for the TEXT to stop flowing "through" the logjammed image? IOW, how do you say, okay, I have 4298 paragraphs in this book. I have (say), 20 tables/images. In the body of the text, near/around/close to, etc., the table...how do you say, flow this much text, but no more? If Jane Doe has the eyes of an Eagle, and has her font size at 1 (smallest), how much text flows past the logjammed element, before it STOPS flowing past it?
