Hi all,
While playing with \startmathcases, I discovered some strange (maybe
wanted?) behaviour of \startmathcases and
\stopmathcases:
- The interline spacing in mathcases is different depending on whether
the mathcases are used in a mathalignment or a formula
environment.
- Lucida OpenType math has some nice curly brace that is also used in
cases environments. However, if \startmathcases,
\stopmathcases is used in some mathalignment environment and the
cases contain subscripts, the curly brace disappears
and some "straight" brace is used instead.
a lucida issue (already looked into)
- When using superscripts instead of subscripts, the curly brace
reappears but the cases look like not vertically centered in both
formula and mathalignment environments.
I've added struts to the text column. This can be turned off with
\setupmathcases[strut=no]
The heights and depths and therefore the size of the curly braces is
more consistent that way.
I produced an example demonstrating the above observations. In my
opinion, the disappearing curly brace is worst of all of them since one
frequently has formulas both with and without subscripts on the same
page and different braces are quite easily spotted.
I'll clean up those macros (a bit more control and efficiency) when
we're gone current (remind me).
