This error appears when a float option is used which LaTeX does not recognise. The float specifier is written in the square brackets whenever you use a float such as a figure or a table i.e. the h in \begin{figure}[h]. The only valid float specifiers you are able to use are h, t, b and p, with the addition of H if you include \usepackage{float} in our preamble. If you write a float specifier which LaTeX does not recognize in the square brackets, it will generate an error such as the one below.


main.tex, line 5

LaTeX Error: Unknown float option `q'.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.5 \begin{figure}[q] Option `q' ignored and `p' used.
