Hi, Lynn,When I scan books, I do put spaces before and after ellipses, so they will be represented correctly on braille displays. If I remember correctly, screen readers tend to handle them better that way, as well. I would like to
hear from sighted volunteers, as to whether the space before and after makes ellipses look weird or distracting, or whether it's not a problem for print readers. Paula----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn I" <lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Mayrie, or anyone who knows more than I do! Isn't the space before and after the ellipsis necessary for the Braille file to translate properly? I certainly thought so. Just wondering. *smile* Blessings.

Should I insert elipses in the table of contents in "Rebel With a Cause"? It wouldn't be a bother. Debby At 07:50 AM 11/3/2009, Mayrie ReNae wroteHi Melissa, That's a great idea! Let's see if it would work for folks like Valerie's Nichole, since Valerie was the one requesting a change. If it would work, I don't see how it would go against anything bookshare has ever said.

I got to thinking about how Braille books have a series of dots between the chapter title and page number. So, I was wondering if inserting an ellipses between the chapter title and page number would be an appropriate solution. An ellipses will be recognized and kept by bookshare's tools, and will give some separation between chapter title and page number for those that need that. It wouldn't be spoken by most screen readers, so wouldn't interfere with anybody's listening pleasure. Finally, since Braille readers are used to the series of dots between chapter title and page number, it wouldn't seem unusual to them either. So, do you think this would be acceptable and not violate any bookshare rules?
