Yes, the graphical MINSE renderer currently does grow its grouping structures. It's the simplest way to facilitate visual matching. > For instance, in the case ||x-a| sin(b)| the important thing is > probably that the outer vert pair be associated together and not > be confused with the inner.

This should be configurable by setting style parameters, something which is easy to do with the extensibility that MINSE already has. (Download a style file that redefines one function -- the one for grouping -- and you're done.) > In addition there are constructions like the semi-open > interval notation [a,b) which might have to have explicit pairings added. You wouldn't have to worry about this if you treated semi-open intervals as a compound on their own. PingReceived on Friday, 5 July 1996 02:42:23 UTC
