I have a document (report style) where I want the figures to appear with
the associated text. Unfortunately, I don't have enough text for LaTeX's
taste, and despite using \begin{figure}[h], it insists on gradually
placing them further and further nearer the end of the section as it goes.
Of course, I end up with them all at the end,

Does anyone know of a way to force the inclusion of the figure (I would
rather break the text across a page than have the figure appear on a later
(indeterminate) page ? I can use \clearpage but that is messy. Perhaps
\pagebreak{3 or 4} ?

Thanks,
