Re Mathematica 5.0.
In a text cell, I want to write a piecewise function...
f(x) = 5x, x < -2
7x, x in [-2,3]
6x, x > 3
...displayed with a lefthand side big curly brace that covers all lines
top-to-bottom, together with centering the "f(x) = " on brace-center.
How would I do this? I've put the righthand side into a 3x2 table and
using the BasicTypesetting palette, choose the curly brace button. This
nearly works except that righthand side "blank lines" destroy the
otherwise perfect look. The problem persists when I change brace size
(using Format/Size).
Any ideas? Thanks.
