SpanMaxSize
is an option for selections that specifies the maximum size of spanning characters such as parentheses and brackets.
Details
- With the default setting SpanMaxSize->Automatic, the maximum size of each spanning character is set to an appropriate default value.
- With the setting SpanMaxSize->k, the maximum size of each spanning character is k times the font size.

By default, curly braces can only grow to approximately twice the regular line height as needed:
{{1}, {1 / x}, {1 / (1 + 1 / x)}}Use SpanMaxSize to ensure curly braces always fully span their contents:
Style[{{1}, {1 / x}, {1 / (1 + 1 / x)}}, SpanMaxSize -> Infinity]Ensure that curly braces never grow at all:
Style[{{1}, {1 / x}, {1 / (1 + 1 / x)}}, SpanMaxSize -> 1]Scope (2)
Parentheses span indefinitely by default:
(1 + 1 / (1 + (1 / (1 + (1 / x))) ^ 2) ^ 2) ^ 2Limit spanning of parentheses to their smallest size:
Style[(1 + 1 / (1 + (1 / (1 + (1 / x))) ^ 2) ^ 2) ^ 2, SpanMaxSize -> 1]Allow parentheses to grow up to twice the font size:
Style[(1 + 1 / (1 + (1 / (1 + (1 / x))) ^ 2) ^ 2) ^ 2, SpanMaxSize -> 2]Brackets and braces are limited in their growth by default:
{f[1 / f[1 / x]]}Allow infinite growth of brackets and braces:
Style[{f[1 / f[1 / x]]}, SpanMaxSize -> Infinity]Text
