No I meant Liblouisxml 2.4.0. But I just tried it with Liblouisutdml as well (I'm not sure which version I'm using), and got the same results.

I tried it myself but I can't reproduce your problem. Could you sent an example document + configuration files to the list? Bert On 21/09/2011 16:54, Vic Beckley wrote: Bert, Excellent instructions! I got it to work now. I am still trying to get my head around why it is working, but it works. Thanks so much! I have one more problem maybe you can help me with. By default, the contents of the doctitle and docauthor tags are embossed at the beginning of the Braille document. Beneath this, with a blank line before and after, is the title of my document which is in the Word document. This is as I would expect because it is a level 1 heading. I added the 2 lines skip doctitle and skip docauthor to my dtbook.sem file. Sure enough, the doctitle and docauthor are not embossed. The problem is, however, now the level 1 heading does not have a blank line after it before the text of the document as it did before;. This seems very strange to me because skipping the 2 tags should not affect how the h1 text is formatted. Any ideas on this one? I really appreciate someone with your experience and knowledge being willing to help out a newby like me. Thanks again.

That did the trick! The indent is now correct. However, I am still getting a blank line between each list item. I have the lines linesBefore 0 and linesAfter 0 in the p_li style section. Why would this not override the linesBefore 1 and linesAfter 1 that are in the style list section? I am trying to get a blank line before and after the list, but not before and after each list item.

No matter what I do the list items are formatted as normal paragraphs instead of having a hanging indent. It is not using the p_li style section at all. I even tried replacing the dtb: in the xpath expression with dtbook: because that is the document type I am working with. That did not work either. Where can you find the additional information in the XSLTs? I don't understand exactly what this means. Thanks again very much for your help.

Adapted from Bert Free's odt2braille. in sem file: p_li&xpath(//dtb:li/dtb:p) in cfg file: style p_li linesBefore 1 linesAfter 1 this will then apply the style properties to a<p> within a<li>. For more info on what to put in the () of&xpath refer to XSLTs. Hope this helps.

I read what was in the documentation about this expression and still don't understand how it is used. Can anyone explain how the xpath expression works or give me practical examples?
