We have a contraction table named latex-access which does at least some of that. It reads math written in LaTeX, and translates it into braille. It needs to be used in conjunction with the latex-access package. If you look at it, you'll see that it's actually code. It's marked as executable, so brltty runs it rather than just looks things up in it. >Are there already widely accepted braille representations for such >symbols? >If not, shouldn't we try to come up with something? I have no idea how braille math is taught in other countries. Here in North America, the best way of representing math in braille that I myself am aware of is what's known as the Nemeth Code. >Is it allowed for a Unicode symbol to be represented by moe than one >baille character and ifos, is it suitable to do that for mathematical >symbols? I doubt there's any such formal rule, and can't think of any good reason not to use multi-cell representations. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
