Bracket

An atom with left/right fences fitted to its complete body. Middle delimiters use the same measured extent and do not enlarge their own sizing target.

PropertyDefaultMeaning
childrenEmptyBody elements or TeX source; with middle delimiters, one run per interval.
delim"round"Named pair: round, square, curly, or angle.
left_delim / right_delimNamed pairIndividual glyphs/commands; null omits a fence, while "." reserves TeX null-delimiter space.
middleAbsentOne delimiter string, or an array separating the body runs.
levelAutomaticFixed level from 1 to 4, corresponding to big through Bigg.
delimiter_heightBody extentFixed requested height as a Gum length; use this or level.
style / size_indexInheritedMath style and optional TeX size index.
klass / left / right"minner"Classes exposed to the surrounding row.

TeX \left…\middle…\right uses the same group measurement. Nested groups measure independently. \big, \Big, \bigg, \Bigg, and their l/m/r variants select fixed delimiter levels and the corresponding atom classes.

Missing glyphs in a Size font are skipped. Beyond the largest available glyph, ordinary fences scale uniformly; vertical bars preserve their width. Extensible piece assembly is not implemented. See math authoring.
