If you convert a file to html, louis will convert it to brf. That makes sense,
since the markup is text as well. Going the other way is a little more
problematic. Half the time Louis interprets braille italics as dots 4-6 in
computer braille, putting a period before each word instead.

Some apps have auto-correct settings in their own preferences, independent of
