Greetings!
How would you make right delimiter } bigger then $\Biggr\}$ to join several lines in table?
A AA -| B BB | C CC |- description D DD | E EE -|
Is there a better solution (?) than
$\left.\blackrule[width=0pt,height=14mm]\right\}$
No. In fact, this is how they are defined in core-mat.tex \def\@@dobig#1#2% {{\hbox{$\left#2\vbox\!!to#1\bodyfontsize{}\right.\n@space$}}} \def\big {\@@dobig{0.85}} \def\Big {\@@dobig{1.15}} \def\bigg{\@@dobig{1.45}} \def\Bigg{\@@dobig{1.75}} math-tex redefines \big etc, but it is just a cosmetic change. \def\PLAINbig {\@@dobig{0.85}} \def\PLAINBig {\@@dobig{1.15}} \def\PLAINbigg{\@@dobig{1.45}} \def\PLAINBigg{\@@dobig{1.75}} and then \definemathcommand [big] {\PLAINbig} \definemathcommand [Big] {\PLAINBig} \definemathcommand [bigg] {\PLAINbigg} \definemathcommand [Bigg] {\PLAINBigg} So perhaps all you can do is define something like \definemathcommand [MYBIG] {\@@dobig{6}} % Change 6 to something that gives a good visual effect. or exploit the matrix environment as Wolfgang suggested. Hans, can we get rid of the definition of \big etc from core-mat.tex? Are \big etc supposed to work in text mode also? Aditya
