Summary description: Reduce the number of unnecessary float pages

A new package that extends LaTeX's output routine to produce less (half empty) float pages without getting the floats too far away from their callout. Behavior is customizable but in most cases just loading the package is enough to get noticeable improvements.

fewerfloatpages – Reduce the number of unnecessary float pages
This package implements a float algorithm extension for handling float pages. It attempts to reduce the number of unnecessary (fairly empty) float pages while making sure that floats nevertheless stay close to their call-outs. Several aspects of the algorithm behavior are adjustable.
