[Texmacs-dev] big delimiters

[Kostas Oikonomou]

(I posted this on the User's list, but didn't get any response, so I'm posting
it here.)

I just noticed that the LaTeX \Bigl, \biggl, etc constructs don't seem to be
implemented in 1.0.5.

I then found that I could insert left and right delimiters of various sizes by
inserting "size tags".
However, the vertical positioning of these delimiters seems to be off, i.e. a
"very large (" is not vertically centered with respect to a plain "(", or even
w.r.t. the enclosed formula.  For example a displayed equation

very large ( \sum_j x_j very large )

doesn't look right. (Compare with the way TeX typesets it.)

Apart from the positioning, having the LateX commands available (they would
translate to the appropriate size tag) would reduce the time one needs to insert
the tags by using the menus.
