Creating a new type of float is very simple.
As an example for a type messages:
in latex preamble
\usepackage{float}
\newfloat{messages}{htb}{loM}[chapter]
The arguments are:
- messages: the name of the float. Important for the caption and the latex-syntax (see below)
- htb: Placement, valid for all floats of type Messages
- loM: the name of the file which stores the captions for a list of Messages
- chapter: numbering inside chapters, makes sense for the book-classes.
In the text the enw float-type Messages is called as an environment:
\begin{messages}
text, figure, table or anything else
\caption{text text}
\end{messages}
Changing the name of the caption is possible with (for example):
\floatname{messages}{Mitteilungen} Changing the list-of-title is a little bit complicated. if you have only one new-defines float, write in preamble:
\let\myListof\listof
\renewcommand\listof[2]{%
\myListof{#1}{Here comes my list of Messages}%
}
For the list of ... write always
\listof{messages}{Here comes my list of Messages}
