{{brace2|height|direction}}

Parameters

The height of the brace in lines (this is not necessarily the same as lines of text, you may need to tweak it). Default: 1

The direction of the brace ("up", "u", "down", "d", "left", "l", "right" or "r"). Default: right.

To include text within the bracket, use a table:

{|
|{{brace2|4|l}}
|do<br/>ray<br/>fa<br/>ti
|{{brace2|4|r}}
|}

$\scriptstyle {\left\{{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right.}$

do ray fa ti

$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
