Yes, I read that. I guess it is too vague for me. You gave examples of
everything except the situation I have a question about. Should it be
"Well, John ...." or "Well, John ... ."?
I know how it should come out in braille, but I'm not sure how to format
it so that the braille translator makes it happen.
