I don't understand what you mean. Do you say that Braille text gets reordered, this is, the word `Hello!' becomes, say, `!Hello' in Braille script? Or do you mean that some of the ASCII punctuation characters get mapped to special Braille signs used for completely different purposes? The former is not supported by Braille (and TeX can't do that either, BTW), the latter is no problem at all. > Formatting braille is very similar to formatting print using a > fixed-width font. Hmm, what exactly do you mean with `formatting'? AFAIK, it's necessary to create nibbles on the paper by a special device so that it can be read by blind people. Is it sufficient for you to use a Braille font, this is, to print black dots on a sheet of paper? Everything else is trivial, I believe. Just send a sample document to the list so that I can process it. Werner _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
