The bracketing examples would probably look better with underbrackets, but I don't know if this is possible with TeX. CyborgTosser (Only half the battle) 02:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean something like:
\underbrace{ [\mbox{nuclear}]} \underbrace{ [ \mbox{physic(s)} ] [\mbox{-ist}]}

Anyone else by any chance have the book Understanding Morphology? I believe it has some good references regarding bracketing paradoxes that could be cited here. CyborgTosser (Only half the battle) 09:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
