[bksvol-discuss] Re: question for member bookshare readers re tables of contents

This is what I recall agreeing on as well. I believe it was determined that the dot leaders might not be appropriately translated by the braille translation software, and that it would be difficult for blind proofers to line up the numbers.

Hi Cindy,

I thought we decided a while back that we'd begin putting a space after the
chapter title, an elipsis, another space, then the page number in the table
of contents.

That's what I remember.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question for member bookshare readers re tables of
contents

I'm proofreading a book. The scanner tabbed from chapter titles to page
numbers. I know that tabs are deleted. I've been putting a row of  periods
between them  (which the book itself, has, actually. I realize that if the
tabs are deleted, the page number will be adjacent to the chapter
title--unless I put one space between them.As a sighted person, I would find
that somewhat difficult to read and would prefer that the page numbers are
further from the words and lined up somewhat. But I need to know what most
of you prefer. Shall I continue putting in periods and lining up the page
numbers as best I can, or do you not mind having the page number right next
to the chapter title?
