minipage ¶Synopses:
\begin{minipage}{width}
contents
\end{minipage}
or
\begin{minipage}[position][height][inner-pos]{width}
contents
\end{minipage}
Put contents into a box that is width wide. This is like
a small version of a page; it can contain its own footnotes, itemized
lists, etc. There are some restrictions, notably that it cannot
include floats or \marginpar commands. This box will not be
broken across pages. minipage is thus somewhat similar to
\parbox (see \parbox), but with minipage the content
can include multiple paragraphs.
This example will be 3 inches wide, and has two paragraphs:
\begin{minipage}{3in}
Stephen Kleene was a founder of the Theory of Computation.
He was a student of Church, wrote three influential texts,
was President of the Association for Symbolic Logic,
and won the National Medal of Science.
\end{minipage}
By default, paragraphs are not indented in a minipage. Change
that with a command such as \setlength{\parindent}{1pc} at
the start of contents.
See below for an explanation of the arguments and other information.
