Try this:

t=Table[Random[],{3},{3}] (*a dim 3 square matrix*)

ShowDet[m_]:=CellPrint[Cell[BoxData[
RowBox[{"\[VerticalSeparator]", GridBox[m],"\[VerticalSeparator]"}]],
    "Output"]]

ShowDet[t]

Hope this helps,

Hi Mathematica experts,

I am trying to get Mathematica to print a determinant of order 2, 3 or
higher in the traditional manner like |A| with the elements enclosed
between two vertical bars by the side. Is there a clean way to do this
using Mathematica?

Thanks
Chee
