# minipage

     \begin{minipage}[position]{width}
      text
     \end{minipage}

The `minipage` environment is similar to a `\parbox` command. It takes the same optional `position` argument and mandatory `width` argument. You may use other paragraph-making environments inside a minipage.

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 section Counters.

NOTE: Don't put one minipage inside another if you are using footnotes; they may wind up at the bottom of the wrong minipage.
