Re: [O] Failure to display more than 18 images with captions

[Jean Louis]

Thank you. It is possible to increase the number of floats in LaTeX, but
I could not succeed.

I found out that problem is also in compilation of the table of
contents, so when I turned toc off, I could see pictures.

Further, I am now using non-floats with:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :float nil

and I can get now the file to work fully as I am expecting, including
pictures are on the place where I wanted them to be.

It is solved for me, not solved in general as a problem in Org mode.
