Brackets
A bracket is either of two tall fore- or back-facing punctuation marks commonly used to isolate a segment of text or data from its surroundings. Typically deployed in symmetric pairs, an individual bracket may be identified as a 'left' or 'right' bracket or, alternatively, an "opening bracket" or "closing bracket", respectively, depending on the Writing system#Directionality, directionality of the context. Specific forms of the mark include parentheses (also called "rounded brackets"), square brackets, curly brackets (also called 'braces'), and angle brackets (also called 'chevrons'), as well as various less common pairs of symbols. As well as signifying the overall class of punctuation, the word "bracket" is commonly used to refer to a specific form of bracket, which varies from region to region.

The Bulletin (Australian Periodical)
''The Bulletin'' was an Australian weekly magazine first published in Sydney on 31 January 1880. The publication's focus was politics and business, with some literary content, and editions were often accompanied by cartoons and other illustrations. The views promoted by the magazine varied across different editors and owners, with the publication consequently considered either on the left or right of the political spectrum at various stages in its history. ''The Bulletin'' was highly influential in Australian culture and politics until after the First World War, and was then noted for its nationalist, pro-labour, and pro-republican writing. It was revived as a modern news magazine in the 1960s, and after merging with the Australian edition of Newsweek in 1984 was retitled ''The Bulletin with Newsweek''. It was Australia's longest running magazine publication until the final issue was published in January 2008. Early history ''The Bulletin'' was founded by J. F. Archibald and ...

The Lone Hand (magazine)
''The Lone Hand'' was a monthly Australian magazine of literature and poetry published between 1907 and 1928. The magazine was based in Sydney. History ''The Lone Hand'' was founded in 1907 by J. F. Archibald and Frank Fox as a monthly Australian magazine of literature and poetry as a sister magazine to '' The Bulletin''. It was modelled on '' The London Strand''.''The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature'' William H Wilde, Joy Hooton and Barry Andrews Oxford University Press 2nd ed. 1994 Originally, Archibald had wanted the name ''Lone Hand'' for what became ''The Bulletin''. Once the magazine was established, Archibald had little to do with its running. It tended to echo the themes of ''The Bulletin''; Australian individuality and mateship, and support for the White Australia Policy. In common with ''The Bulletin'', contributions from the public were solicited and paid for at the 'going rate'. A remarkable innovation was a prize offered to readers who found errors (inc ...
