<P>Since brackets have a grouping function they must always match and
be correctly nested. For scalable brackets it is essential that <KBD>left</KBD>
and <KBD>right</KBD> matches, but the brackets can be freely
combined. Example:</P>
<UL>
<LI><P>You can enter<KBD> left ( a right [ </KBD>to typeset (a[.</P>
