Dear Tadziu,
I am impressed and deeply thankful. You made my day with the solution
you offered, because a number of tables in my material require these
vertically spanning brackets.
To your question about the source: The original is most certainly offset

Hi Doug,
thank you again! I found a thread of September 2017 which discusses
rotated text in tbl cells, using a postscript solution (Tadziu Hoffmann
provided the answer).

of the horizontal bracket in my table.
I'll keep yo
Dear All,

Here is another, and I'm afraid to confess, newbie question:
