Hi Jean,
Well done and thank you for spotting this. Joe's reply follows, and
the problem has been entered into the list of fixes required for a
future release. Although not ideal but as a temporary work round,
fortunately the order of the Codes can be altered in the braille file
in Coded view.

"As Jean notes, this problem doesn't seem to affect italics, nor bold
when it is represented as italics (as it is in the standard American
literary table and in the regular "textbook" table without "distinct
emphases"). But when using the distinct-emphases variant of the
textbook table, in a case such as
In this sentence, this phrase is in bold (really). Now back to
regular typeface.
the closing boldface indicator is placed before the opening
parenthesis, whereas it should be after."

Subject: [duxuser] order of punctuation
In the BANA rules, there is a specific order for punctuation marks. In
particular, when using italics, any quotation marks or brackets come
before the italics symbols.
But I noticed that DBT does not honour this proper ordering when using
the boldface indicators. I import my documents from Word. If I have a
bold passsage, and say the last word is an acronym in brackets, the
order should be bracket, end bold indicator, the word. But DBT puts
the bold indicator first.
Just wondering if this could be fixed one day so that the proper order
works with boldface? To fix this, I have to use exact translation and
use the underscore and period where I want the end bold indicator.
