# Help with branches

I'm trying to do something like this, but I doon't know how to creat [+silábico] or organize "NUC" in an equal high. Thanks!!

Here is what I used: (I've tried "[{[-silábico]},before drawing Vocálico={y=-1.0cm,x=0.8cm},anchor= south west]", but it didn't work :/).

\documentclass[12 pt, a4paper, doubleside]{article}%showtrims
\usepackage[top=3cm, bottom=2cm, left=3cm, right=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{forest}
\usepackage{phonrule}
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[left,modulo]{lineno}
\usepackage{multicol,textcomp,amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{textcase,graphicx,lastpage,covington}
\usepackage[makeindex,split]{splitidx}
\usepackage[tone,extra]{tipa}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikz-qtree}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\begin{document}

\begin{forest}
[Nuc
[x
[Raiz
[Vocálico
[Altura
[\textsc{[+{alto}]}
]
]
]
]
]
]
]
\end{forest} \hspace{0.4cm}

\begin{forest}
[\textsc{[+{ac}]}
[Nuc
[x
[Raiz
]
]
]
]
\end{forest} \hspace{0.2cm} $\rightarrow$ \hspace{0.2cm}
\begin{forest}
[Nuc
[x
[Raiz
]
]
]
\end{forest} \hspace{0.4cm}

\begin{forest}
[\textsc{[+{ac}]}
[Nuc
[x
[Raiz
]
]
]
]
\end{forest}

\end{document}


Expected output

• Are you fully convinced that you want to use forest for that? Why not just a tikz chain or matrix? – user121799 Nov 6 '18 at 20:04

Even though I really love forest and continue to be stunned by what it can do, in this case I'd like to argue that it is easier to employ other tools. An arguably rather simple way is to use tikz-cd for that.

\documentclass[12 pt, a4paper, doubleside]{article}%showtrims
\usepackage[top=3cm, bottom=2cm, left=3cm, right=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzcd}[column sep=1mm,
/tikz/column 4/.append style={column sep=0.7cm}]
& & {[+\text{ac}]}\arrow[d,dash] & & & & {[+\text{ac}]}\arrow[d,dash] &\\
\text{x}\arrow[d,dash] & & \text{x}\arrow[d,dash] & &
\text{x}\arrow[d,dash,"="below=-2pt] & & \text{x}\arrow[d,dash] & \\
\text{Nuc}\arrow[d,dash] & & \text{Nuc}\arrow[d,dash] & &
\text{Nuc}\arrow[d,dash] & & \text{Nuc}\arrow[d,dash] & \\

• @Amanda I added it, as well as the missing line of xs. Note that your diagram is a bit wide for the page geometry. One possible way to slightly decrease the width of the diagram and make the horizontal lines longer is to replace column sep=1mm by column sep=1.5mm,font=\small,. – user121799 Nov 6 '18 at 20:37
