From the article: This table command instructs TeX to put the table in the page, here, where the table is declared (h) AND at the top of the page (t). PrinceXML, an XML/HTML + CSS to PDF renderer, can do this using a "float:top" style: http://www.princexml.com/doc/9.0/properties/float/ http://www.princexml.com/doc/9.0/properties/float/ Also, before they abandoned their bespoke browser engine, Opera released an experimental build that could render web pages as paged media (see http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-reader-a-new-way-to-read-the-web/ http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-reader-a-new-way-to... ). It, too, supports floating to top (as vendor-prefixed "-o-top"). Paged media is as alive as ever (it's just moving from dead trees to tablets), so I wouldn't count this stuff out just yet.
