[liblouis-liblouisxml] Re: Mathematical Symbols in Literary Text

It's important to specify EBAE or Braille Formats when discussing "Literary"
text. There are differences between the two, and mathematical symbols is one
of those situations. If the question is how to handle mathematical symbols
in literary textbooks, then it is important to follow Formats, Rule 5: 2c
(page 58). The plus sign is 4-346. This rule lists how to handle + - = x < >
etc.

They are to be written out as #a plus #a equals #b etc.

How should mathematical symbols like < > = + etc. be represented in 
literary text? I would guess that the plus sign, for one, would be 4-346
