+
+<p><i class="slanted">Displays</i> are sections of text set off from the surrounding
+material (typically paragraphs), often differing in indentation, and/or
+spacing. Tables, block quotations, and figures are displayed.
+Equations and code examples, when not much shorter than an output line,
+often are. Lists may or may not be. Packages for setting man pages
+support example displays but not keeps.
+</p>
+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-keeps-_0028introduction_0029"></a>
+<p>A <i class="slanted">keep</i> is a group of output lines, often a display, that is
+formatted on a single page if possible; it causes a page break to happen
+early so as to not interrupt the kept material.
+</p>
+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-keep_002c-floating"></a>
+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-floating-keep"></a>
+<p><i class="slanted">Floating keeps</i> can move, or &ldquo;float&rdquo;, relative to the text
+around them in the input. They are useful for displays that are
+captioned and referred to by name, as with &ldquo;See figure&nbsp;3&rdquo;.
+Depending on the package, a floating keep appears at the bottom of the
+current page if it fits, and at the top of the next otherwise.
+Alternatively, floating keeps might be deferred to the end of a section.
+Using a floating keep can avoid the large vertical spaces that may
+precede a tall keep of the ordinary sort when it won&rsquo;t fit on the page.
