   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 Note:
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.
