Hi there,

is there something similar to the LaTeX minipage environment? I have
a box which contains text, tables and footnotes, and the whole thing is
supposed to become a float with a frame and/or a colour background. Can
I just use a block or is there a more sophisticated mechanism? Can a
float be inside another float? At present my tables are floats within
the text but I can rework this if necessary.
