O autor deve estar focado apenas no conteúdo e não se preocupar com o layout: uma boa ideia é usar (corretamente) o LaTeX e o estilo FEUP em "feupteses LaTeX style".
Figura~\ref{label} na página~\pageref{label})."First of all the user should accept the fact that LaTeX moves a floating object either because there is no space on a given page or for esthetic reasons. Luckily, when using the right commands, LaTeX does a very good job.
The very first thing to do is to avoid commands like \clearpage and let LaTeX automatically choose the position of the floating objects: while writing the thesis, the author should be focused only on the content and not be concerned with the layout.
Almost any interference in the complex routine that LATEX uses to place the floats, will cause poorer results.
The following suggestions ensure that the floats are placed as close as possible to their insertion point without any intervention by the author.
One of the major causes of problems is the use of the [h] option which tells LaTeX to place the figure at the same point where it appears in the code.
Even worse than [h] are the [htbp] and the [h!t] options.
It is a common misbelief that this option is the best to guarantee that the object remains close to the point where it appears in the code.
It actually works only when the object is very small (compared to \textheight)." https://tug.org/pracjourn/2008-1/mori/mori.pdf
