Template:Brace

This template inserts a "brace segment": part of a brace (curly bracket) that can be put into a table to span multiple items.

Usage

Parameter 1 determines the orientation of the brace: l (left - { ), r (right - } ), o (over - ⏞ ) or u (under - ⏟⏟ ).
Parameter 2 determines the part of the brace:

t: top end: File:Brace segment, right, end-top.svg
b: bottom end: File:Brace segment, right, end-bot.svg
m: middle (for braces with odd number of sections): File:Brace segment, right, mid.svg
mt: middle, top (for braces with even numbers of segments): File:Brace segment, right, mid-top.svg
mb: middle, bottom (for braces with even numbers of segments): File:Brace segment, right, mid-bot.svg
s: span (between middle and end): File:Brace segment, right, span.svg
ht: half-brace top (for 2-segment braces) File:Brace segment, right, half-top.svg
hb: half-brace bottom (for 2-segment braces) File:Brace segment, right, half-bot.svg
l: left end: File:Brace segment, over, end-left.svg
r: right end: File:Brace segment, over, end-right.svg
ml: middle, left (for braces with even numbers of segments): File:Brace segment, over, mid-left.svg
mr: middle, right (for braces with even numbers of segments): File:Brace segment, over, mid-right.svg
hl: half-brace left (for 2-segment braces) File:Brace segment, over, half-left.svg
hr: half-brace right (for 2-segment braces) File:Brace segment, over, half-right.svg

Parameter 3 is an optional width for the segment tiles (default is 25) in pixels. All tiles in one brace must be the same for alignment.

Note that the table needs to have zero padding and cell spacing. The template {{brace table parameters}} will set these for you.

In the case of horizontal (under and over) brace, left is the "top" and right the "bottom"
