Text Formatting ⇒ stmaryrd | Certain Symbol as scalable Delimiter

[tkrisz]

Hi,

I would like to use \llfloor and \rrfloor of package stmaryrd as a growing delimiter, but it is not working. I have no problem with \llbracket and \rrbracket, but \llfloor and \rrfloor would be better. Is it a problem in the package? If yes, do you know a nice looking workaround?

Hi,

welcome to the board!

The stmaryrd documentation writes something about growing delimiters, but only that \llbracket and \rrbracket are growing delimiters. I guess \llflor and \rrflor just aren't designed this way and you would need another package.

A simple minimal working example, just for verifying how it doesn't work, giving the error ! Missing delimiter (. inserted):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\begin{document}
\[
  \left\llfloor\frac{x}{y}\right\rrfloor
\]
\end{document}

This MWE just shall show, that it's usually good to post some code for explaining problems, so readers can verify the problem and possibly post a fix.
