Been thinking about selling the equation in my avatar ... how do I collect royalties if someone invents something incredibly lucrative using it?
You'd need to fix the last bracket, otherwise no respected equation connoisseur will buy it.
I would rather fix the
first bracket (after the product), so as to be consistent with the size of the object inside the bracket pair... But, surely, even fixing the last bracket is a step in the right direction, and adds the necessary symmetry to the pair.
You have an eye for detail, Phil_S. I'm impressed.
An issue of the \large vs. \Large thingy?
Wow, more (L

EX fans... Nice!
I think math mode should automatically take care of bracket sizes, and in an optimal way.
Not exactly. I don't remember the details (and I can't be arsed to check honestly), but the TeXbook says something to the effect that default auto sizes for delimiters tend to be a bit too large, and spaced a bit too widely. I doubt LaTeX improves on that, as the low-level formatting is mostly left as it is in Plain TeX.
... So if you want to choose your own bracket geometries that's fine but you'll have to start by discovering your own fucking equations
How about posting a larger version? I might be able to make out something beyond the bracket size.
