2013-10-12 Thread BPJ

Hello I use plain XeTeX, and occasionally have to do something like this. The coding should (I think) still be comprehensible to LaTeX, so you could try including something like this at the end of the first cell of line 3: \rlap{\kern 3pt $\smash{\left .\vbox to 30pt{}\right\}}$}

Hello I would just give a \noalign{} variant in between the 3rd and 4th (or 1st and 2nd) cells, but if that's not how you set up your tables, you could always go to the line above the midpoint (the third and the first respectively) and repeat the same command, except that it would be lowered
