Template:Brace

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

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

• 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"

Example

Foo {{brace|r|t}} Bar {{brace|r|s}} Spam {{brace|r|mt}} Eggs {{brace|r|mb}} Bread {{brace|r|s}} Text {{brace|r|m}} Text {{brace|r|b}} Stuff {{brace|r|ht}} Things {{brace|r|hb}}
