Sorry, Sue, but I've never seen a Bookshare book with the two hyphens that
are supposed to be there when an em dash is translated into Braille. I don't
think the Bookshare Braille translator handles the em dash properly.
Even so, I generally leave them the way they appear in the print book
instead of changing them to two hyphens, which would make them appear as
they should in the Braille version; although, I admit to a bit of
ambivalence about this.

Hi Jamie,
On my Braille display when I turn on Grade II, that em-dash looks like
three dashes or hyphens, but it seems to translate okay with the bookshare
braille translator.
Hope that helps,
Sue S.

I just wanted to make sure that the em dash correctly translates into
Braille. I know not all characters do. And I know that there was recent
discussion about it but I have to confess I really didn't pay enough
attention to it.
I figured I could look it up in the manual. Some books use tons of em
dashes.
