Don't know. I think it is o.k. when it is allowed, since it does not harm and you never know what people have in mind. > Juergen> Only problem is perhaps that the LyX users complain because > Juergen> "Wide floats" have gone ;-) > > They will probably complain because now they need to use the mouse to > obtain wide floats.

IMHO the minipage placement is unrelated (and different) to that. Juergen > JMarc -- jürgen spitzmüller erbprinzenstr. 6 79098 freiburg tel.: 0761/ 29 21 768
