Recursive search on TEXINPUTS or --include-directory?

Hello!

The miktex MiKTeX manual lists three possibilities for additional source directories:
(1) --include-directory command line
(2) TEXINPUTS environment variable
(3) registering an additional TEXMF directory.

I have a TEXMF directory structure as part of a (larger) project tree.
Registering it with the miktex management tools
carries a dependency on my project working copy location into my
MiKTeX setup, which I'd like to avoid. I would like to specify it
with it's relative location to the working directory when calling pdflatex.

Is there a possibility to add a TEXMF directory structure (or
an input directory for recursive search) temporarily through a command line
or environment variable?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dr. Hartmut Niemann

You can register a root on the command line with 
initexmf --register-root=/path/to/root

and unregister it with 
initexmf --unregister-root=/path/to/root

It is rather fast.

! You can't use `\prevdepth' in horizontal mode.

Dear users,

I ran into problem with a number of floats I have in my document. I had 
to change the figure placement from [ht] to [H] because I place a number 
of floats after eachother with no text in between. The float package is 
recommended. But I run into weird error -- ! You can't use `\prevdepth' 
in horizontal mode --. I only occurs with one picture. With the others 
the switch to the [H] specifier works fine. I'm not an expert users, but 
is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Wilfred

You might want to try copying line 29601 and sending in your email (as
well as a few right before that).

Why not put some text between them?

Re: ! You can't use `\prevdepth' in horizontal mode.

I've tried that, Paul. That didn't work either. So I've changed the way 
floats are placed a bit. That worked I found out this morning. The 
problem now is that the pictures are not typeset very neat, so the 
workaround is not satisfying. Any suggestions are still welcome.

Thanks,

Wilfred
