+Inside a @code{minipage} environment the @code{\footnote} command uses
+the @code{mpfootnote} counter instead of the @code{footnote} counter, so
+they are numbered independently. They are shown at the bottom of the
+environment, not at the bottom of the page. And, by default they are
+shown alphabetically.
