I am trying to typeset a list of vectors spanning a multidimensional space, using the notation
span{v_1,v_2,...,v_n}
(I haven't found out how to inline it as rendered latex)
i.e.:
span \{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ \vdots \\ \vdots \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ \vdots \\ \vdots \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ \vdots \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{matrix} \cdots \\ \\ \ddots \\ \ddots \\ \cdots \end{matrix} \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ \vdots \\ \vdots \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \}
but the fourth "vector", consisting of only various dots does not have the same size as the other vectors, since the dots take up more vertical space than 1 or 0 do.
I understand LaTeX doesn't know how to align them since they are all independent matrices but I'm not satisfied with the result. Is there any way to make them all have the same height?
