[Bulk] Re: [Bulk] [Ipe-discuss] how to make large left-brace

[Pierre Boulenguez]

And the winner seems to be,

$\left\{
\parbox{3cm}{
my text here
still my text
still my text
my text here
still my text
still my text
}
\right.$

where the parbox lets you define the dimension of the text part.

BR,
Pierre
