Left/Right functions
Delimiter matching.
The lr
function allows you to match two delimiters and scale them with the content they contain. While this also happens automatically for delimiters that match syntactically, lr
allows you to match two arbitrary delimiters and control their size exactly. Apart from the lr
function, Typst provides a few more functions that create delimiter pairings for absolute, ceiled, and floored values as well as norms.
Example
$ [a, b/2] $
$ lr(]sum_(x=1)^n] x, size: #50%) $
$ abs((x + y) / 2) $

While matched delimiters scale by default, this can be used to scale unmatched delimiters and to control the delimiter scaling more precisely.
