>Ok Hans, with the beta from yesterday the absolute values change size, but there are some problems still: 1) The absolute value bars are not just "straight lines" when using \big and friends, but som kind of line that is thicker in the middle. (zoom i on attached pdf) 2) The horizontal spacing in the \big version seems to be bigger than for the \bigl/\bigr version (and similar for \Big vs \Bigl/\Bigr). I'd expect the same spacing (the l and r are just there for the writer to easily see what is left and what is right). 3) I'd expect that \| gives double bars, like the || one get from \Vert and not |. This is not so (see the attached file). Moreover, it is not possible to do \bigl\Vert right now to get a bigger ||.
