+[Endfloat][] is a [[LaTeX]] package for shifting your figures and
+tables onto seperate pages at the end of your article, a format
+requested by some journals. For example, adding
+
+    \usepackage{endfloat}
+    \usepackage{color}
+    \DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}}
+    \captionsetup{textfont=white}
+
+This includes endfloat, which adds to the end of your article
+
+* a list of figures and their captions followed by
+* the figures themselves on separate pages.
+
+The bit setting the caption color to white hides the captions on the
+figure pages, since some journals don't like to have them. If you're
+using [hyperref][], and you have references from your captions
+(e.g. to equations, citations, etc.), those may get colored
+automatically, so they won't be "erased" by the `CaptionFont`
+redefinition. You can turn off hyperref's coloring with
+
+    \hypersetup{colorlinks=false}
+    \hypersetup{pdfborder=0 0 0}
+
+which turns of the coloring of the link text, and disables the
+annoying boxes that hyperref likes to draw around links. Note that
+this will make links hard to find throughout your entire article, but
+just for the preprint with captionless figure pages, which isn't
+really a big deal. You can still find them by mousing around in places
+where you expect them to be.
