Template:Brace2

$\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\}$

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

The template generates a variable height brace using LaTeX math markup. These are especially useful in tables where they are used to group items. For the technical details, see: mw:Extension:Math.

Parameters

• 1: the height of the brace in lines (this is not necessarily the same as lines of text, you may need to tweak it). Optional, default: 1
• 2: the direction of the brace ("up", "u", "down", "d", "left", "l", "right" or "r"). Optional, default: right.

Examples

Plain use

{{brace2|}}
{{brace2|2}}
{{brace2|4|r}}
{{brace2|1|l}}
{{brace2|3|l}}
{{brace2|1|u}}
{{brace2|6|u}}
{{brace2|1|d}}
{{brace2|6|d}}

$\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\}$ $\begin{array}{c}\\ \end{array}\}$ $\begin{array}{c}\\ \\ \\ \end{array}\}$ $\{\begin{array}{c}\end{array}$ $\{\begin{array}{c}\\ \\ \end{array}$ $\stackrel{}{⏞}$ $\overbrace{}$ $\underset{}{⏟}$ $\underbrace{}$

Formatting with tables

{|
| Item 1
| rowspan=2|{{brace2|2|r}}
|-
| Item 2
|}

Item 1	$\begin{array}{c}\\ \end{array}\}$
Item 2

For putting a line on the right side of the brace, as well as for creating this brace in case of Non-English Wikisource if this template is not present, see example here.
