Padding in tabular caused by \left

Question

in tabular environment, I would like to use \left. in one row but not in some another one. It results in items not verticaly aligned in the table column.

Here is the affected minimal example:

\begin{tabular}{ll}
    one & $85$ \\
    two & $\left.85\right\rbrace$ \\
\end{tabular}

looks like this, see the right column:

How to make those 85 numbers be aligned vertically?

Thanks

Answer 1

You want to remove the \nulldelimiterspace:

\left.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace 85\right\}

On the other hand, I can't see what good the \left-\right pair is doing.

Answer 2

Rather than using \right you could specify the size directly and avoid \left. entirely.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
    one & $85$ \\
    two & $85\big\}\Big\}\bigg\}\Bigg\}$ \\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Answer 3

The space of the null delimiter is set by \nulldelimiterspace:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\setlength{\nulldelimiterspace}{0pt}

\begin{tabular}{ll}
    one & $85$ \\
    two & $\left.85\right\rbrace$ \\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
