The LaTeX Package “floatrowbytocbasic”

The Package floatrowbytocbasic has started as hack module of the former KOMA-Script package scrhack years ago to fix an issue when using package floatrow with KOMA-Script 3. This became necessary because package floatrow still depends on an interface once proposed by the KOMA-Script author, but which has long since failed to meet requirements. Unfortunately, this problem could not be solved in dialog with the author of floatrow. Although floatrowbytocbasic still requires the floatrow package, it then changes some internal commands to use and optimally support the KOMA-Script package tocbasic. On the one hand, the user interface of floatrow remains usable unchanged, but at the same time the package benefits from many possibilities of tocbasicrow not only when using a KOMA-Script class, but also when using other classes, such as the standard classes.

The package is part of the “Third Party Enhancements” hosted on GitHub. Further information can be found in the CTAN catalog entry.
