Cartouches and parenthesis

<- and ->
draw a cartouche around the embedded text :
 <-ra-mn:n-xpr->

<S and >
draw a serekh :
G5 -<S-nTr-X:t->

<H >
draw a Hwt-sign.
<H-pA-i-i-A1-Htp:t*p>

The letters b, m and e, used after the beginning sign, allow you to draw only the beginning, middle, or ending of construction. So, for example, <Se-nTr-> writes

.

The parenthesis are:

[[...]]
for

;

[{...}]
for

;

[&...&]
for

.
