John,
I have been trying to reproduce a problem with words that are emphasized not
contracting right. I have not been able to accomplish this. I have found a
couple other things which I think are problems. I am attaching to this
message two xml document I have been using.
First, when translating the emphasis.xml into Braille, there is an
inappropriate space and grave accent mark placed before the colon where the
text is emphasized.
Secondly, the italic marks are placed inappropriately. In the emphasis.xml
file there are four words in bold. I think whenever there are over three the
italic mark isn't supposed to be on each word. Similarly, in the page 2.xml
file, the title is not marked up appropriately. There are two italic signs
before the word God's, as there should be. There is one on the word through
and one on the word Jeremiah. There should only be one on the last word if I
am not mistaken.
This second case is probably due to the way the DAISY plug-in for Word
structures the xml. I don't know why it does what it does but I feel
BrailleBlaster should be able to compensate for this as it will likely be
encountered quite often.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

<strong>Through</strong><strong> Jeremiah</strong></p>
<p>Question 1. What publication was released at the 2010 district convention,
and how will we use it?</p>
<p>1 How excited we were when a new book by that name was released at the 2010
â??Remain Close to Jehovah!â?? District Convention! This publication highlights
lessons for our daily life found in the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations.
(Rom. 15:4) Designed for use in the Congregation Bible Study, it will be
considered beginning the week of November 5, 2012.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Question 2. Why can we benefit from a consideration of the Bible books of
Jeremiah and Lamentations?</p>
<p>2 <strong>Beneficial Today: </strong>Jeremiah, the writer of this inspired
Bible book, prophesied during a turbulent period in Judah. At first, he did not
feel qualified for his assignment. (Jer. 1:6) He was also persecuted by
acquaintances and perhaps relatives from his hometown, Anathoth. (Jer. 11:21,
22) Understandably, Jeremiah became discouraged at times. (Jer. 20:14) As we
fulfill our commission to â??make disciples of people of all the nations,â?? we
often experience challenges and feelings similar to those of Jeremiah. (Matt.
28:19) A consideration of his writings will help us to carry out our ministry
with confidence and zeal.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Question 3. How will we use certain features of the <em>Jeremiah
</em>book?</p>
<p>3 <strong>Features: </strong>Key scriptures that should be read during the
discussion are identified in italics. The end of each weekâ??s study is marked
by a meaningful question or two set in bold that highlights the main points of
the lesson. These should be asked of the audience in review. Throughout the
book are beautiful illustrations that the congregation will no doubt want to
comment on.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Question 4. How can we benefit to the full from a consideration of the
<em>Jeremiah </em>book?</p>
<p>4 To benefit to the full, prepare your lesson in advance. Look for points
that you can use in your life and ministry. Have a full share in commenting.
With Jehovahâ??s blessing, Jeremiah fulfilled his assignment with joy and
contentment. (Jer. 15:16) May our consideration of this new publication help us
to carry out our ministry in the same way.</p>
