title: Latex: stretchable curly braces outside math
body: <p>I am producing some latex beamer slides (but I think it is not a beamer specific question per se).</p>
  
  <p>I have the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\begin{itemize}
  \item Issue1
  \item Issue2
  \item Issue3
  \end{itemize}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I want to have a right curly brace (i.e. '}')  behind the items spreading over issue1 <strong>and</strong> issue2. And of course I want to write something behind that curly brace.</p>
  
  <p>In a perfect world I would write something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\begin{itemize}
  \left .
  \item Issue1
  \item Issue2
  \right \} One and Two are cool
  \item Issue3
  \end{itemize}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a clean solution or a hack to produce my desired result?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  Bastian.</p>
