It seems to me that one of the problems with bullets is that they often appear as random characters when a book is being scanned. In that case they need to be deleted when validating the book. Jill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L. Rhodes" <juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I don't honestly think there is an actually correct, smile, bullets, format. 

I replace them with *, but that is me.
When, they don't have any symbol. If they do and it is one I can understand 
on the Braillenote I leave it.

I used to replace bullets with a double dash, which was what some on the 
list recommended a few years ago. Is that still acceptable, or should I
leave them as is?

 Sometimes they are shown as an o and sometimes they are as a - or --.

   What about bullets? Those spots that come before a line of text? Does
Braille handle them? I think the Braille use of three apostrophes to
indicate an ellipsis is interesting. Also, in print, ellipses are not always 
periods with a space in between each. I have seen them as three periods
squeezed into a single space, so squished that you can hardly tell they are 
periods.



   Oh well.



   Still curious about bullets though.
