If the input is only text then I would think using liblouis directly would be the better option. I think the translate function (translate being the Java bindings function, actual C API function being lou_translate) is what would be most suitable.
If the input could be an XML fragment it requires new functionality developing in liblouisutdml.

So what do you suggest to do to handle editing within brailleblaster? If I edit a range of text and that element begins with a space then how can I get back just the text and the indexes? This seems like a core function of Brailleblaster and if liblouisutdml can't handle it then it seems like we should address this.On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 6:38 AM, Michael Whapples <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:It is not usual to begin a line or page with a space, so when formatting one would normally not include it. To indent text in XML there normally are better ways to indicate the line should be indented, normally using markup. The problem here is you are passing a document fragment to a document processing function.
