I am writing a big formula where a vertical line is needed. Instead of $\vline$ or $|$, does anyone know a way to draw this vertical line of desired length? The formula is something like
$$
E\Bigg[
F_{m-1}\Big( \text{some big contents} \Big) |\: \mathcal{F}_1
\Bigg]
$$
Thank you very much!
Well, if you are manually defining the size, as in the example you could just put a \Bigg| at the right place. Probably better would be using \left, \middle and \right.
By the way: You should prefer \[ and \] instead of double $$.
\[ E\left[ F_{m-1}\Big( \text{some big contents} \Big) \middle|\: \mathcal{F}_1 \right] \]
Try enclosing your expression into \left. and \right\vert, as in
\left.\frac{\partial L}{\partial\bm{\beta}}\right\vert_{\hat\beta}=-2\bm{X'y}+2\bm{X'X\hat\beta}=0
which yields:
\left.. I wondered for a while why it didn't work.

mathmodedocumentation is very helpful. It should be part of your TeX distribution.
