Nice to see you on the list. I've noticed your posts on the
programmingblind list especially.
I think that as you become more familiar with liblouis tables your
difficulties will disappear. Meanwhile, please send uls the table you
are using as an attachment. Also please use the notation \xhhhh for
accented letters. Most of us don't have keyboards or embossers for
languages other than our own.
Thanks,
John
