For my dissertation I'm required to place the floats with a space of three lines after and three lines before the text. Is there a way to do this other than manually inserting the paragraph breaks before and after?

Best Answer
Here are the lengths associated with vertical spacing around floats (from the
layouts
package, section 6.2 Detailed float layout):You should be able to set the lengths
\textfloatsep
and\intextsep
(possibly also\floatsep
) to3\baselineskip
- the equivalent of three lines of text:Note that the default lengths for these have some shrink/stretch to accommodate for the vertical page construction to have some flexibility. You may consider adding those back, although it may reduce your three lines of space slightly on some pages.
