Hello Arash, Ikumi and Sašo, Thanks for probing this issue so deeply and sorry for a delayed response.

I would definitely insist for a minor mode as this is in my opinion a very good and handy feature. Apart from insisting for the first alternative, I would really urge you all to think if there is really any case outside the math-mode where one would want to use incomplete brackets, i.e., using a [ without a ]). If there is no case where such a text would be used I would also request you to consider making this indentation the default one and only providing a minor mode to turn it off. As far as I see this is only useful and not at all harmful in the text-mode. > Oh, sorry, did it? That is strange according to your > previous message... I don't know, but this is what happened. Maybe something is wrong, but anyways; as of now I have managed to compile the required file, so let's just forget it ;-) Best, निरंजन
