I have a problem putting two figures side by side, I don't want the caption text to affect the beside figure.
Here is my code:
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{gull} % first figure itself
\caption{HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD HELLO WORLD }
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{gull} % second figure itself
\caption{second figure}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}
So the problem is if I write many things in one \caption
I don't want LaTeX to carry the second figure down.
I want for the figures a steady position regardless of what I have written below of them.
