I used the clearpage and newpage features. The only other way I found
out was to add a bit of latex just before the heading.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* My heading
  Some content with images.
@@latex:\clearpage@@
* My other heading, totally cleared
  some other content
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What I dislike with this way of doing is that the latex fragment is
inside the heading above while I would prefer to associate it with the
second heading. The semantic in my case is "I am starting a brand new
topic, clear the floats from the last topic so that they won't pollute
my new topic".

I find the solution with the code of Thomas S. Dye very elegant:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* My heading
  Some content with images.
* My other heading, totally cleared             :clearpage:
  some other content
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I hope I clarified the use and the what for.

Best regards,
