This was apparently an arbitrary call by Leslie Lamport. \r\n\r\nThis is affecting the content of `<p>` children of a `<paragraphs>` inside a `<sidebyside>`. And probably other children of a `<sidebyside>`, if they have any `<p>` in them.\r\n\r\nI think maybe something like here:\r\nhttp://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/43002/how-to-preserve-the-same-parskip-in-minipage\r\nwould be good to preserve the ambient values of /parskip and /parindent inside minipages. \r\n\r\nAre there other places minipages are used?

But it would isolate the minipage and maybe sometime a btter alternative could be employed."}}
