Hi, Valerie, I remember when I had to do fill in the blank exercises and
this is how they looked in my text books. If there are instructions to fill
in the blank before the exercise, you're home free. Then I'd see a sentence
(Pardon me but the example is in English as my Spanish is laughable.). 1.
There are many geometric shapes, amongst which is the hexagon which has six
----. 2. Mary had a little ----, whose ---- was white as snow. I don't know
if this helps. Good luck and best regards, Kim.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] formatting in a textbook
I have a question for everyone. I am working on a Spanish grammar book.
Obviously it is something very different from what I am used to, but I am
enjoying it so far. Anyway, I would like some feedback as to people's
preferred way for representing a fill in the blank section, often in the
middle of a sentence, as well as they often have examples that have bolded
arrows in front of some of the options. If I was strictly doing this for a
sighted person I would just probably put a series of five underscores for
fill in the blank, but I am instead considering bracketing the phrase fill
in the blank. In terms of the bolded arrows within examples, I was thinking
about just putting a >and a proofreader's note before the text of the book
begins on what was previously a blank page.
All feedback is greatly appreciated!
Valerie
