This template is under construction.            

Please do not use this unfinished and/or still unreliable template.            

The {{overbrace}} mathematical formatting template shows a brace over the first argument with an optional superscripted label in either HTML+CSS or LaTeX.

Usage

{{overbrace|overbraced expression|label = superscripted label|size = size|format}}

where

• superscripted label is optional;
• size is a positive real number ≥ 1 (default 1) (ignored with the tex option);

and where the optional format (last argument) is from

• htm: HTML+CSS (default),
• tex: LaTeX.

Examples

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a''|label = ''n''}}|&&}}

yields the display style HTML+CSS

     

n ⎧ ⎨ ⎩  a

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a''|label = ''n''|tex}}|$$}}

yields the display style LaTeX

     ${\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {\overbrace {a} ^{n}}\end{array}}$

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a'' {{op|+}} ''a''|label = ''n''|size = 3}}|&&}}

yields the display style HTML+CSS

     

n ⎧ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎩  a + a

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a'' {{op|+}} ''a''|label = ''n''|size = 3|tex}}|$$}}

yields the display style LaTeX

     ${\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {\overbrace {a+a} ^{n}}\end{array}}$

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a'' {{op|+}} ''a''{{op|+}} {{...|cdots}} {{op|+}}''a''|label = ''n''|size = 7}}|&&}}

yields the display style HTML+CSS

     

n ⎧ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩  a + a + ⋯ + a

The code

: {{math|{{overbrace|''a'' {{op|+}} ''a'' {{op|+}} {{...|cdots|tex}} {{op|+}} ''a''|label {{=}} ''n''|size = 7|tex}}|$$}}

yields the display style LaTeX

${\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {\overbrace {a+a+\cdots +a} ^{n}}\end{array}}$

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a'', ''b'', ''c'', ''d'', ''e'', ''f'', ''g'', ''h'', ''i'', ''j'', ''k'', ''l''
|label = first 12 letters|size = 13}}|&&}}

yields the display style HTML+CSS

     

first 12 letters ⎧ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩  a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l

The code

{{indent}}{{math|{{overbrace|''a'', ''b'', ''c'', ''d'', ''e'', ''f'', ''g'', ''h'', ''i'', ''j'', ''k'', ''l''
|label = \text{first 12 letters}|size = 13|tex}}|$$}}

yields the display style LaTeX

     ${\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {\overbrace {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l} ^{\text{first 12 letters}}}\end{array}}$

With both overbrace and underbrace

The code

{{indent}}{{math|
{{overbrace|''a'', ''b'', ''c'', ''d'', ''e'', ''f'', ''g'', ''h'', {{underbrace|''i'', ''j'', ''k''|label = 3 letters|size = 3}}, ''l''
|label = first 12 letters|size = 13}}
|&&}}

yields the display style HTML+CSS

     

first 12 letters ⎧ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩  a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h,  i, j, k   ⎫ ⎪ ⎬ ⎪ ⎭ 3 letters , l

The code

{{indent}}{{math|
{{overbrace|''a'', ''b'', ''c'', ''d'', ''e'', ''f'', ''g'', ''h'', {{underbrace|''i'', ''j'', ''k''|label = \text{3 letters}|size = 3|tex}}, ''l''
|label = \text{first 12 letters}|size = 13|tex}}
|$$}}

yields the display style LaTeX

     ${\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {\overbrace {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,\underbrace {i,j,k} _{\text{3 letters}},l} ^{\text{first 12 letters}}}\end{array}}$
