The minipage environment is similar to a
<a href="ltx-294.html"><tt>\parbox</tt></a> command. It takes
the same optional position argument and mandatory width argument. You
may use other paragraph-making environments such as the
<a href="lists.html">list-making</a> and
<a href="ltx-68.html">tabular</a> environments inside a minipage. You can
also use the minipage environment or
<a href="ltx-294.html"><tt>\parbox</tt></a> command to put one or
more paragraphs
inside of a <a href="ltx-43.html">picture environment</a> or as a
<a href="ltx-67.html">table item</a>, for example.
<p>
There is no paragraph indentation in the minipage environment. That is,
LaTeX sets <a href="ltx-86.html#lencmd"><tt>\parindent</tt></a> to zero;
however, you may override this with a
<a href="ltx-88.html"><tt>\setlength</tt></a> command.
<p>
Footnotes in a minipage environment are handled in a way that is
particularly useful for putting footnotes in figures or tables. A
<a href="ltx-231.html"><tt>\footnote</tt></a> command puts the
footnote at the bottom of
the minipage instead of at the bottom of the page, and it uses the
<tt>mpfootnote</tt> <a href="ltx-3.html">counter</a> instead of the ordinary
footnote counter. If you want the footnote in a minipage environment
to be placed at the bottom of the actual page, in the usual fashion,
use the <a href="ltx-232.html"><tt>\footnotemark</tt></a> and
<a href="ltx-234.html"><tt>\footnotetext</tt></a> commands.
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: if you put one minipage inside another
and if you are using
footnotes, they may wind up at the bottom of the wrong minipage.
