minipage
\begin{minipage}[position][height][inner-pos]{width} text \end{minipage}
The minipage
environment typesets its body text in a
block that will not be broken across pages. This is similar to the
\parbox
command (see \parbox), but unlike \parbox
,
other paragraph-making environments can be used inside a minipage.
The arguments are the same as for \parbox
(see \parbox).
By default, paragraphs are not indented in the minipage
environment. You can restore indentation with a command such as
\setlength{\parindent}{1pc}
command.
Footnotes in a minipage
environment are handled in a way that is
particularly useful for putting footnotes in figures or tables. A
\footnote
or \footnotetext
command puts the footnote at
the bottom of the minipage instead of at the bottom of the page, and it
uses the \mpfootnote
counter instead of the ordinary
footnote
counter (see Counters).
However, don't put one minipage inside another if you are using footnotes; they may wind up at the bottom of the wrong minipage.
