Hi Albert,

By far the best way to produce UK math is by using a Word add-on
called "MathType".  It's not expensive if you are able to justify an
Educational license - £40 is UK Sterling.

There are many additional advantages such as being able to also
produce large print from the same file(s).

Feel free to drop me a line off list (George@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and
I can fill you in on any of the finer details if you like.

(I'm just heading off to Sight City, but will be back on Friday)

All the best,

Hello!

I am new to the list and a new DBT user.  I have a few questions to
ask of list members and would appreciate your help to solve these
issues.

When translating maths such as the plus sign, DBT doesn't seem to
translate it as expected.  I am using English/British textbook format
with capital letters.

Consider the following example:

2 +2 =4.

The translated text remains a plus and not dots 5-6 followed by dots
2-3-5.

Also, if there are punctuation marks such as a comma or full stop
separating each number, e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9 and so forth, how can I
separate them with a dot 6 before the punctuation mark?

Also, consider the following example:

[q~3333333333333]
In 1 Volume
[q~3333333333333]

The translated version is as below:

3333333333333
,in #a ,volume
3333333333333

Shouldn't the ",in" be contracted?

I am sure I will have more questions along the way, but that's all for
the time being.  Would be grateful to any member who can help me with
these issues.

Regards,

Albert
