auto-sizing of nested parentheses
hi, is there a way to let ConTeXt make nested parentheses bigger automatically (based on level of nesting)? if you have like (((((..).)..))..), it is very hard to read if all parentheses are the same size. tobias

What about: $\Bigg(\bigg(\Big(\big((..).\big)..\Big)\bigg)..\Bigg)$ Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
What about:
$\Bigg(\bigg(\Big(\big((..).\big)..\Big)\bigg)..\Bigg)$
Regards, Khaled
thanks for your reply, but i would like to have it done automatically, not by hand; something like a switch for parentheses mode. also i´m not sure if those \big( parentheses vary their size according to what they surround, so i should have asked for parentheses with sizing based on level of nesting AND what´s inside. tobias

$\left(\left( ... \right)\right)$

maybe im doing something wrong here. i have this expression \startformula \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\left( {\left( {\left( {\alpha { \odot _{C}}{{\tilde k}_i}\left( y \right)} \right){ \oplus _{C}}\left( {\beta { \odot _{C}}{{\tilde k}_i}\left( z \right)} \right)} \right){ \odot _Y}{u_i}} \right)} \stopformula and the first 3 parentheses have the same size. i would like the outer to be bigger than the inner, like in the attached image (i hope attachments work). tobias

I see. You can add \delimiterfactor=1001 in the preamble somewhere. Best wishes, Taco

yes, that´s what i was searching for! thank you so much for your fantastic help! \delimitershortfall=-2pt seems to be another alternative. tobias

Yes. There is a small bit of danger in the value -2pt, though: at smaller pointsizes you may skip over an intermediate size. Any negative value will do, so \delimitershortfall=-1sp is better than -2pt. Best wishes, Taco

is the third parentheses necessary ?
well, i guess you´re right, it´s not absolutely necessary because all the expressions have indizes, so one could guess all belong to the sum. but this way it´s clearly visible and formally precise that all expressions belong to the sum. tobias

Yes, true but a sum sign smaller than first parenthesis looks a bit strange . Anyway it' really my opinion. -- luigi
