==Delimiters==
==Delimiters==
Known as fences in MathML, brackets (<tt>[]</tt>) braces (<tt>{}</tt>) and parens (<tt>()</tt>) are delimiters. In builtup display, they ought be at least as large as their contents. Pairs of delimiters, even when nested, needn't match up--any closing delimiter works with any opening delimiter. A closing delimiter may have a subscript and/or exponent.

===Math zones===
Regions/zones of Unicode Math can be set off with quilled brackets (<tt>⁅⁆</tt>).
A "display region" fills a paragraph in the source text; the region is otherwise considered an "inline region", and ought be rendered more compactly. Adjacent math zones are automatically merged.
Display regions are roughly equivalent to LaTeX's <tt>$$…$$</tt> and <tt>\[…\]</tt>. Inline regions correspond to LaTeX's <tt>$…$</tt> and <tt>\(…\)</tt>.
