OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

With the default setting (RefLink[DelimiterMatching, paclet:ref/DelimiterMatching])->(RefLink[All, paclet:ref/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] would both be allowed. Unmatched delimiters are typically displayed in a different style; the style is specified by AutoStyleOptions.

With the setting (RefLink[DelimiterMatching, paclet:ref/DelimiterMatching])->(RefLink[None, paclet:ref/None]), a delimiter can be matched with an opposite delimiter of any type. Hence, the expression (a,b] would be considered legal.
