Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Wrapfig within minipage environment: an unwanted effect

[sergioro]

Hello all,

The package wrapfig is used within the minipage environment as a workaround to wrap text around a figure in the enumerate environment.

Unfortunately, for some strange reason the text formatting in this case do not spam the full width of the page after the first enumerated text. Only half of the page is filled with text (see the attached pdf generate via the the source of the minimal example also attached).

I would appreciate any help to fix this.

Thanks in advance,

Sergio

Your example is far from minimal. After a quick look at your code, I can get the same output with the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{memoir}

\usepackage{wrapfig}

\newcommand*{\testA}{text text text text text }
\newcommand*{\testB}{This text does spam the full page. }
\newcommand*{\testC}{
This text does not spam the full page.
This text does not spam the full page.
This text does not spam the full page.
This text does not spam the full page.}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
\item 
\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}
\vskip-.9\ht\strutbox
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{framed}
[\testA \testA \testA \testA \testA \testA \testA \testA]
\end{framed}
\hrulefill
\end{wrapfigure}

\setlength{\intextsep}{4pt}

Here it is shown an unwanted effect when using the package \textsf{wrapfig} 
within a \textsf{minipage} environment, and I am looking for some help to fix it.

The package \textsf{wrapfig} is used within the \textsf{minipage} environment 
as a workaround to wrap text around a figure in the \textsf{enumerate} environment.

\item
\testC
\item
\testC
\end{enumerate}

\end{minipage}
\testC \testC
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

I am not sure what's your definition of minimal[*], but
in this case I can see that wrapfig requires the figure no to take space from the first itemize section. This is not a nice feature but one can live with that.

[*] For me all the relevant packages should be included
in the minimal to rule out the possibility the reported behaviour is because of conflicting interest among packages or the order they are called. Apparently neither is the case here.

All the relevant packages are included if you build a minimal working example.

Depending on the circumstances, lists like {enumerate} are always problematic with wrapfig (see its manual).


Remarks:

• You should use the features of memoir to set up the page geometry.
