$\overbrace{\hbox{Text}}^{\hbox{text above}}$
$\underbrace{\hbox{Text}}_{\hbox{text below}}$
$\stackrel{\hbox{Text above}}{\hbox{Text below}}$

I need the underbrace to be under a matrix. how would you do that? – Guy Dec 13 '09 at 21:45

Similarly `$\underbrace{\matrix{1&2\cr 3&4}}_{\hbox{text below}}$` – Alexey Malistov Dec 13 '09 at 21:53
How do you do it if you don't want the underbrace to be visible? – Lasse Karagiannis Sep 28 '22 at 23:35
