Math in overbrace annotation

[cscherrer]

Hi,

This works fine:

overbrace(x(x + 1) ...(x + n - 1), "n factors")

But the "n" should really be math. If I do this

overbrace(x(x + 1) ...(x + n - 1), "$n$ factors")

The $s are printed in the content. I've tried lots of variations with no luck. What's the right way to do this?

This works fine (In math mode, you can use #[ ... ] to create a content block):

$ overbrace(x(x + 1) ...(x + n - 1), #[$n$ factors]) $

Perfect, thank you!!

Another possible solution is the following:

$ overbrace(x(x + 1) ... (x + n - 1), n "factors") $

This is more succinct!
