Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Curly Bracket in a Table

[Montag]

Hello,

I'd like to have a curly bracket where it says "curly bracket".
It should be pointed downwards, as shown in the example picture.
Is that possible?

Hi,

you could use \underbrace, for example:

Code: Select all

\multicolumn{2}{p{2cm}}{\raisebox{.5\baselineskip}
{$\underbrace{\hspace{2cm}}$}}

A basic approach could look like shown below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[%
  fontsize=11pt,
  paper=a4
]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tabular}{l||cc}\hline
    test & 1 & 212344\\
    stuff & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\raisebox{1.5ex}{\smash{$\underbrace{\makebox[5em]{}}_{}$}}}\\
    result & \multicolumn{2}{c}{212345}\\ \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{document}

The width of the braced box has to be determined manually.

Thank you both!
I took Thorsten's version since I haven't dealt with p-columsn yet.
