I have never heard of dots 3 5 being a prefix for a symbol.I understood not equals to be dots 5 and then 2356 (IE. assuming US braille table on braille device, "7 ).


I couldn't find anything in the Maths code book from the BAUK website suggesting using dots 3 5.

Greetings list,
The manual also states that things like "not equals" are preceded by dots
35. Is this the latest convention?  One of my contacts told me it was
supposed to be dot 5 before the equals sign to indicate "not".  Anybody know
what the latest rule is?
Thanks
Mike

Hello,
This sounds good. So for answering your question, I have never seen two
spaces used around inline equations and personally wouldn't do it
either. However this is only my own experience and so it may differ from
the official rules (IE. may be its a new thing recently added and I
might not have seen any text using that latest notation).

I am getting good preliminary results with the UK maths tables and
equations embedded in text. One question: the manual shows two spaces
between mathematical expressions and text. Shall I do the same?

The additional code for UK maths doesn't seem to interfere with anything
else, so I may merge it back into the trunk soon.

Thanks,
John
