Log: Fixes for emphasis marks in the norwegian braille table thanks to Knut
Arne Bjørndal

I changed the table from the deprecated beg/end codes to
firstword,firstletter,lastwordafter,lastletter. It seems to work
better, but maybe not perfect.

Using lou_allround with no-no-generic.dis,no-no-g0.utb and setting
emphasis 0110 and running with test as input I get t;es<t< instead
of the expected t;es<t

I have also changed underline to be the same braille patterns as
italic and bold, as the standard seem to be to only use one general
emphasis mark for most texts.

As far as I know the current rules are these from 2004 (my
  translation):

1) General emphasis is done with dots 23 before and 56 after the
part to be emphasised. This should be used for parts of words, whole
words and multiple words.

2) If multiple types of emphasis is needed for the same text the
following can be used:
points 456 before and after (suitable for underlining)
points 6-3 before and after (suitable for graphic emphasis)
points 5-2 before and after (suitable for letterspaced text)
None of these should be used for emphasising parts of words. The use
of different emphasis marks must be explained in «Notes on the
braille edition» (or in a foreword or legend if the text is made
only for braille).
3) The underline character (for example for web addresses) is
unchanged, points 456.
