Hi,
I am trying to place two tables side by side so that their captions at
the bottom align at the bottom. I tried several combinations of
Content and Box alignment of minipages but failed. Using sub figures
instead didn't help either.
Box alignment is a bit tricky, but this is doable:
1. Put a protected space (ctrl+space) after the captions for table 1 and
table 2. This little trick make the box alignment settings work "as
expected".
2. Open settings for each of the two minipages. Under "Alignment",
change "Box" to "Bottom".
Step two causes the boxes to align by their bottoms, which again causes
the tables to be lined up by their captions because in both cases, the
caption is at the bottom of the box. This is nice and intuitive -
unfortunately, step 1 is necessary to make it work. That is not so
intuitive, but box alignment can often be made to work by tossing in a
protected space at the start or at the end of the box.
Don't put the protected space inside the caption box. Use the cursor
keys, and add the protected space just outside the caption box. LyX may
decide to display it on the next line.
