I’m on Mac OS.
I’m simply trying to write the “evaluated at” sign for definite integrals and derivatives.
When I type the “pipe” symbol, I can tab until it becomes large. But when I subscript it, the size of the bar shrinks again.
My steps:

Hi @alecstein
the following steps work for me on Linux:
Now you can add the subscript on the right bar without cause it to shrinks
@mutable, this does not work on MacOS. Maybe it’s a bug. As soon as I add the subscript, the bar shrinks to the size of a normal, small “|”.
Here’s a video:
Please follow the steps above.
You must to insert two vertical bars and, after typed inside at least a char, delete the left bar.
I think this behaviour of Texmacs is correct because inserting just a single text bar is ambiguous in order to match the desired height.
I now understand what you mean. I have to put the derivative inside the two pipes, then delete the left pipe. I got it to work that way. Thank you.
I found you can also use the <space> primitive to create an invisible box that causes the right delimiter of the aforementioned <around> tag to be taller.
I made a macro for myself with the <space> primitive configured to create an space box with 0 width that extends vertically -0.5em from the baseline up to 1em above the baseline. An example TeXmacs document is available here, in case you want to copy paste the macro.
