DelimiterMatching

DelimiterMatching is an option for cells that determines if an opening delimiter will match only its respective closing delimiter or any closing delimiter.

With the default setting DelimiterMatching All, all delimiters such as {, [ or ( must be matched with an opposite delimiter of the same type. For example, the expression (a, b] would be considered illegal but (a, b) and [a, b] are both allowed. Unmatched delimiters are typically displayed in a different style; the style is specified by AutoStylesOptions.

With the setting DelimiterMatching None, a delimiter can be matched with an opposite delimiter of any type. Hence, the expression (a, b] would be considered legal.
