Bidding

In the context of bidding theory I use a bidding environment. The given card deal takes the following ACOL bidding

 West 		North 		East 		 South

– 1tex2html_wrap_inline&clubs#clubsuit; no 1
no 2 ♠ no 4
a.p.
obtained via
\begin{bidding}
-- \> 1\c\> no \> 1\s\\
no \> 2\s\> no \> 4\s\\
a.p.
\end{bidding}
Remark The bidding environment is independent of the language of the bidding (West etc. can easily be adapted), the bidding system as well as the number of bid rounds.
