Hi,
I went to Index Braille's website and found something like the thing
needed by this list. IBraille offers formatting.
Here is the link:

Hope this helps,
Alex,

Will, there is also Winbraille - a free braille translation
programme from Index Braille themselves. It is quite easy to use,
and it would be worth exploring whether it can indicate formatting
features before you spend money on Duxbury. You can go to www.indexbraille.com
and download it free if you run windows on your Mac, or if you
are thinking of doing so. Winbraille gives you a choice of
connections to your braille printer: parallel or serial, or usb. I
haven't seen the latest release of this software so I can't give
you any more info.
With best wishes

Hi when I tried it, and I had bold in english articles no format
indicators were shown. obviously in my view anyways, layout
indication is imporant not only for me and Simon as translators
but in general for us to see, where text is emphasized etc. so
that if we are pointed to a marked passage we can distinguish its
layout, too. the only option i think will be duxbury

Will, I have just started using Louis but as yet I am not able to
tell whether Louis has an option of marking formatting when
converting into Braille. Best thing to do is download Louis and
have a look at the help file. I know it is damn difficult for us,
those of us who need formatting for translation purposes. Best
wishes, Will, Simon

Hi to all,
Can the louis program developed by Greg, show formatting in
documents?
So if one has italicized text can it show up in the language of
choice that they are reading in?
So for example, in French the bold and or italics is 4 5 6.
Would this show up in lewis if I instruct it to show formatting
if indeed, this can be done?
