Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ minipage position problem

[BlauBeer]

Hi,

I want to have two minipages on the same level (one left and the other right), both contain two lines. But this two minipages are not on the same level

Code: Select all

\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{flushleft}
\underline{Stuttgart, den \today{}}\\
(Ort und Datum)
\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}
%
\begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth}
\begin{flushright}
\underline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\\
(Unterschrift des Verfassers)
\end{flushright}
\end{minipage}

Please always provide a full and compilable example. Otherwise the solution of a problem will fail when it comes to more complicated issues.

Use an optional alignment parameter for the minipage environments to align them with respect to the current line as shown below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[ngerman]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{%
  adieresis={ä},
  germandbls={ß},
  Euro={€},
}
\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
    \raggedright
    Stuttgart, den \today \\
    \rule[1ex]{14em}{0.5pt}\\
    (Ort und Datum)
  \end{minipage}
%
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
    \raggedleft
    \rule[1ex]{14em}{0.5pt}\\
    (Unterschrift des Verfassers)
  \end{minipage}
\end{document}

As you see, the environments for text alignment have been replaced by the according switches in order to avoid additional vertical space.
