Thanks for the tip. But no, it doesn't help.

<div>Further observation: If the item I quote below is simply included as an empty \item, I lose the floats. If it isn't there, I don't.</div>
<div>Mind you, there are other (later) items in the list which don't seem to affect the floats.</div>

<br>
Now, uncommenting more, later material (including some other equation* environments), all goes well, until I come to a list: an "itemize" environment, with several items. Most of these items have no effect on the floats (i.e., they don't disappear), except
for a single item<br>

(I am no longer trying to replace the macros here with their definitions, because in the past the content appeared not to be the problem. ) If the itemize environment has only this item, the floats disappear. If I comment this out but include the other 3-4
items, the floats reappear. And if then I again uncomment the single item (leaving the others uncommented) the floats disappear again.<br>

Are you using a [tbp] type of option in the floats? If so, try adding the "p" option (for page of floats).<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>
