How to avoid quarto positioning figures to the end of the chapter when rendering a pdf book?

[barizona]

Hi,
Do you know how to avoid quarto positioning figures to the end of the chapter when rendering a pdf book?
I inserted the figure like this:
![Long caption .... ](fig_name.png){#fig-name width="65%" fig.pos="h"}

When I decrease width to 60% it appears in its correct place. But if I increase quarto put it to the end of the chapter.

This is my YAML file:
`project:
type: book

book:
title: "Title"
author: "My Name"
date: 2022-08-30
date-format: "YYYY"

chapters:
- index.qmd
- chapter1.qmd
- chapter2.qmd
- chapter3.qmd

bibliography: references.bib

execute:
echo: false

lang: hu
language:
crossref-fig-title: "ábra"
crossref-tbl-title: "táblázat"

format:

pdf:
documentclass: scrreprt
pdf-engine: xelatex
papersize: A4
pandoc_args: --listings
classoption: notitlepage
keep-tex: true
toc: true
toc-title: "Tartalomjegyzék"
toc-depth: 3
number-sections: false
colorlinks: true
mainfont: Calluna
sansfont: Calluna
urlcolor: DodgerBlue4
linkcolor: DodgerBlue4
citecolor: DodgerBlue4
fig-pos: "h"
fig-cap-location: bottom
linestretch: 1.2

editor: visual

header-includes:

• \usepackage{pdfpages}
• \usepackage{microtype}
• \setlength{\parindent}{6mm}
• \pretolerance=10000
• \usepackage{colortbl}`
  Thanks

LaTeX will calculate the best position for the figure. You can tell LaTeX what is your preference using fig.pos as you did but it does not guarantee that LaTeX will respect it because it's possible that the page does not have enough space for the figure.

[barizona]

But the figure can fit to a single page at the end of the chapter? (Yes it can...)

You might want to use fig.pos = "h!" or fig.pos = "H".

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried, the result is the same (fig at the end of the chapter).

[barizona]

But when I've corrected this part in the YAML:
fig-pos: "h!" it worked! Thanks for the tip.

By the way, this is a LaTeX behaviour, not a Quarto issue/behaviour.

[barizona]

Yes, I understood it, finally.
