\maketitle
-\thispagestyle{empty}
-The syntax is:
+\parskip=4pt
+\linespread{1.05}\selectfont
+
+\noindent Sometimes one would like to interleave braces labelling
+parts of an equation, like in
+$$
+ \overunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+ {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+ {& &\br{3}{z}}
+ = \pi r^2
+$$
+which is something that straightforward \verb"\overbrace" and
+\verb"\underbrace" cannot do.
+
+There is a trick, which I heard from Etienne Riga, that works well
+for simple cases without requiring any packages or new commands, and
+it involves \emph{overprinting} parts of the equation:
+put an overlapping \verb"\overbrace" (or \verb"\underbrace")
+into \verb"\rlap{$...$}", and insert it into the equation.
+This does not easily handle the multiple-overlap of the example
+above (the overlapping gets misaligned) but can do
+$$
+\rlap{$\overbrace{A+B}^x$}A+\underbrace{B+C}_z
+$$
+with \verb"\rlap{$\overbrace{A+B}^x$}A+\underbrace{B+C}_z".
+
+The oubraces package provides an alternative solution (for both plain
+\TeX\ and \LaTeX) based on visual formatting into columns, like an array
+or table. The formula at top is then produced by
\begin{verbatim}
- \overunderbraces{upper_braces}{main_formula}{lower_braces}
+ \overunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+ {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+ {& &\br{3}{z}}
+ = \pi r^2
\end{verbatim}
-Suppose we want the equation:
-\[
- \overunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
- {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
- {& &\br{3}{z}}
- = \pi r^2
-\]
-There are seven segments:
+
+First, (on paper or imagination) write the formula
+and divide it into segments at the tip of each brace.
+In our example there are seven segments:
+$$
+ \Xoverunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+ {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+ {& &\br{3}{z}}%
+ {1&2&3&4&5&6&7}
+ = \pi r^2
+$$
+although segments 1 and 7 could be omitted.
+We will type the main line of the formula with \verb"&" inserted
+between each segment:
\begin{verbatim}
- x y
- ,-----^-----. ,-----^-----.
- a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h + i + j + k + l + m = \pi r^2
- 11111111222222223333344455555666666667777777777...
- `-----v-----'
- z
+ a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m
\end{verbatim}
-Insert \texttt{\&} between each segment (where the tips of the braces point)
-to type the main\_formula:
+Each segment then becomes a column in an alignment,
+and each brace may span multiple columns. The idea is best
+illustrated by a \LaTeX{} array:
\begin{verbatim}
- x y
- ,-----^-----. ,-----^-----.
- a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m
- `-----v-----'
- z
+\begin{array}[c]{ccccccc}
+ & \multicolumn{2}{c}{x}& & \multicolumn{2}{c}{y}\\
+ & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\downbracefill}&
+ & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\downbracefill}\\
+ a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m\\
+ & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{\upbracefill}\\
+ & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{z}
+\end{array} = \pi r^2
\end{verbatim}
-Each brace should be specified by typing
+This doesn't work well at all, having bad braces with bad vertical and
+horizontal spacing. We should instead use \TeX's primitive
+\verb"\halign" command, and measure the size of boxes to get the
+correct vertical positioning of the formula's main line. Rather
+than type the very messy \TeX\ commands directly with each use,
+it is better to make a new command:
+$$
+\hbox to\hsize{\indent\verb"\overunderbraces{"{\sl
+ upper\_braces\/}\verb"}{"{\sl main\_formula\/}\verb"}{"{\sl
+ lower\_braces\/}\verb"}"\hfil}
+$$
+We already know how to write the main line of the formula
+(by segmenting the formula and inserting \verb"&" between
+segments), and we will also use \verb"&" between braces.
+Each labelled brace will be specified in the format:
+$$
+\hbox to\hsize{\indent\verb"\br{"$n$\verb"}{"\mbox{\sl
+ label\/}\verb"}"\hfil}
+$$
+where $n$ is the number of segments spanned by the brace.
+Each top brace of our example spans two segments (with an
+empty segment between them) and the bottom
+brace spans three segments, so they are specified by:
+
+\medskip
+\indent \hbox to8em{top braces:\hfil}\verb" &\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}"\\
+\indent \hbox to8em{bottom braces:\hfil}\verb" & &\br{3}{z}"
+
+\medskip
+
+Having determined all three parameters to use with
+\verb"\over"\-\verb"under"\-\verb"braces", the complete command is
\begin{verbatim}
-\br{number_of_segments}{label},
+ \overunderbraces{&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}}%
+ {a + b +&c + d +&e + f&+&g + h&+ i + j&+ k + l + m}%
+ {& &\br{3}{z}}
+ = \pi r^2
\end{verbatim}
-separated by \texttt{\&} to indicate which segment to start at; use
-\texttt{\& \&} to skip a segment that has no brace. For our example
-formula, the upper and lower brace specifiers are:
-\begin{center}
- \begin{tabular}{ll}
- top row: \verb|&\br{2}{x}& &\br{2}{y}|
- bottom row: \verb|& &\br{3}{z}|
-\end{tabular}
-\end{center}
-Now put them all together:
+which produces the equation at the start of this article.
+
+\end{document}
+
+Here is the definition of \verb"\overunderbraces". It may look
+long, but it has some repetition in order to measure the height of
+the top half of the formula. There are also the auxiliary macros
+\verb"\brAup", \verb"\brAdown", and \verb"\brAlabel" that allow
+the same \verb"\br" command to produce up-braces, down-braces, and
+centered labels at the appropriate places.
