Hello,
Can liblouisutdml yet handle locked Braille for things like
transcriber's notes?
We are needing to implement this in BrailleBlaster and so LibLouisUTDML
will need to support it if BrailleBlaster is to work properly.
If LibLouisUTDML does support locked Braille how does it currently
support it (IE. what XML markup should be used)?
If nothing has been defined then we were thinking of doing something
similar to how page numbers are done in UTDML. Thinking about it though,
we would have to mark locked Braille in another way because page numbers
would not be expected to be maintained through a translation as
potentially the pages may have changed if content has changed, whereas
locked Braille should be maintained through the translation process.
I seem to have a memory that it had been suggested that locked Braille
would be noted by a locked attribute, possibly on the span or the brl node.
Also were there cases where locked Braille may be associated to
print/ink content? I think the reason for that would be where a manual
translation correction had to be made.
