I'm writing a short paper containing tables, images, etc., but I'm getting a

Any suggestions on how to trouble-shoot or fix this?
Probably related to image/table float placement. I've had an image on
one page trigger a blank page after it, and if your options or the
size of the image on the next place won't fit on a single page, it
might be skipping that blank one entirely and moving along to the
next.
Is it possible to share the document, or could you try to copy that
.org file, remove the contents of p. 1-4 and 8-9, and then share the
.org file that generates pages 5, 6 (blank), and 7?
Thanks, John. I figured it has something to do with LaTeX float
behavior, but I'm trying to understand how to control it through
org-mode. I'm attaching a small sample that reproduces the problem.
Thanks!
