Hi,

I am producing some latex beamer slides (but I think it is not a beamer specific question per se).

I have the following:

\begin{itemize}
\item Issue1
\item Issue2
\item Issue3
\end{itemize}

Now, I want to have a right curly brace (i.e. '}') behind the items spreading over issue1 and issue2. And of course I want to write something behind that curly brace.

In a perfect world I would write something like:

\begin{itemize}
\left .
\item Issue1
\item Issue2
\right \} One and Two are cool
\item Issue3
\end{itemize}

This does not work because I am not in a math environment and I can not put the whole snippet inside a math environment because itemize would not work in that case.

Is there a clean solution or a hack to produce my desired result?

Regards, Bastian.
