Yes, or it could be a BRLTTY option independent of the table, but having it as part of the table should in most circumstances be what people need. If an op code were added, you should coordinate this with John Boyer, I think, as we don't want BRLTTY and liblouis to diverge in incompatible ways if this can be avoided. Another possibility would be to keep the user's word-breaking preferences in whatever configuration file (BRLTTY preferences, for example) holds the list of preferred tables. It would just be an extra field of the structure along with the table name. This is drifting off-topic for this thread, and I haven't looked at the code recently, but is the BRLTTY preferences file stored in a format that is guaranteed to be independent of byte order and word size? If not, I think it should be replaced by a textual format, which would also reinforce the Unix convention that configuration files, including those in a user's home directory, are text files rather than binary. The cost would be negligible CPU usage in writing and parsing the text file. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
