Subject: Re: [xsl] Analyze-string Regex to Match Content within Curly Braces From: "Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 16:19:03 -0000 |

Go back to pre-computer typography, and vertical braces were often used singly. Traditionally, braces grouped things vertically, rather than enclosing things horizontally. It's a typographical device that we seem to have lost because of the limitations of our technology. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1559/adding-a-large-brace-next-to-a-b ody-of-text/1570#1570 Michael Kay Saxonica
