Hi all,
You need to write in grade I for web and email addresses because there
are symbols in such things which are exclusive to web and email
addresses. Remember that a computer is *not* a human being and it
must be told how to parse (make sense of) the symbols. Braille only
has a finite number of ways to combine the six dots. Many of these
combinations are used in several different ways depending on the
situation. Do you remember Isaac complaining that the list of web
addresses I put up here was "dirty", and had many errors in it? That
is because it was taken from a Braille File which had been improperly
written.
Because a computer or BN is a literal beasty, you have to tell it that
this next little bit is a URL or email address. You can't change this
behavior, not unless you find some way to put a human brain in a
BrailleNote. Think of it like communicating with someone who speaks
French. You need to speak French to that person if you want them to
understand important information, especially if their English is not
too good. <smile>
