This works for ( ) too, since \(...\) is a capturing group in sed, vi, etc., so [(] and [)] work pretty much everywhere. You still have to write [{{] and [}}] unless you use a variable; i'd recommend using a variable, though, so you can give it a name that's in the problem domain, such as "superscript-regex". As to Mike Kay's typographical point, one can to some extent use the maths fonts, but it's tedious and often ugly, depending on the browser: https://www.fromoldbooks.org/Heraldry-Kent/transcription/chap1sec2.html I'd like to see presentation mathml integrated through CSS into Web browsers, so that one could simply declare an element to have a left brace, or fence as mathematicians call it. -- Liam Quin,B https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
