Re: Large curly brackets in tbl

[Oliver Corff]

Hi Doug,

thank you again! I found a thread of September 2017 which discusses
rotated text in tbl cells, using a postscript solution (Tadziu Hoffmann
provided the answer).

Currently I am experimenting with a different path by placing a ps image
of the horizontal bracket in my table.

I'll keep you informed.

Oliver.
