missing delimiter + \underbrace

Post by TexMo »

Hi guys.

I'm having trouble with some error messages;

!Missing delimiter (. inserted).

I really can't see any errors with the code. Hope you can help me!

Code: Select all

\begin{align}
\label{hex}
\underbrace{0 1 0 0}_{\Big{4}} \underbrace{1 1 0 1}_{\Big{D}}
\end{align}

Regard,

Morten

Hi Morten,

welcome to the board!

\Big is a macro for making big delimiters, such as \Big( or \Big[ or \Big\{.

It is not for making text bigger, if you meant that. In this case, try:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{relsize}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
  \label{hex}
  \underbrace{0 1 0 0}_{\mathlarger{4}}
  \underbrace{1 1 0 1}_{\mathlarger{D}}
\end{align}
\end{document}
