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

Susan,

Thanks. I think that Braille Formatt is more appropriate for the type of 
material in which these symbols are likely to be encountered. I'll 
follow it in my tables. 

Did you see the attachment I sent yesterday with what I called EBAE 
tables? Perhaps I should call it something different.
