[comp.text] LaTeX questions

gefuchs@wotan.uucp (Gill E. Fuchs) (01/04/89)

First things first,

  Thank you very much to Michael DeCorte and Art Werschulz for their kind
help with \therefore and for pointing out the appropriate news group.


question 1:       vertical braces...
----------- 
                  on page 51 of the LaTeX book by Leslie Lamport resides
                  a description about horizontal braces.  Is it possible,
                  to extend the concept to vertical ones?  If so, how?



question 2:       "sideways text"
-----------  
                  in a picture there may be the need to write text along
                  a non-zero slope, can this be done within the LaTeX
                  kingdom?  If not, what is a reasonable alternative?


Thanks again to all
Gill
