My screen reader pronounces each asterisk as star. One of them might go by fast enough to not be noticed or else leave me wondering why the word star was in the middle of the text. Three of them should do the jobb. Eight of them should do the job very well, but I am not sure if that many are really necessary.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] use of asterisks ibooks


Someone who reads by listening, I can't remember who, posted that when asterisks are used to indicate larger than normal line spaces between sections they go by too quickly and run into the nnext paragraph. In the last book I proofed (soon to be in the collection, I hope, as I uploaded it the other day) I wrote the word asterisk. Heretofore I'd only used one or 2 asterisks. If I use 8 will that solve the problem, or should I write the word asterisk?
