John,

I did a clone and don't see the different branches. Where would they be?
What does all this mean for building the DLL?


Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] liblouisutdml Update 

Compilation on Windows now works. The problem was just a misplaced 
statement. 

Many improvements have been made. However, a lot more work is needed 
before the library will be ready for the next release. This work has 
priority over BrailleBlaster, because people who are using the library 
in other applications need it. BrailleBlaster will be updated to use the 
more powerful braille engine when it is ready.

Two conversion modes are now available. the first, called transinxml 
takes utdml and replaces the text in an xml file with the braille 
translation, without altering the xml tags except for the insertion of a 
meta tag to give information about the translation. See the file 
transinxml.cfg in the lbu_files directgory.

The second conversion module produces brf from utdml. See the file 
brf.cfg 

Two other conversion modules are merely stubs at present. the first is 
utd2pef.c and the second is utd2volumes.c This last will eventually be 
able to divide a book into volumes with tables of contents, title pages, 
etc.

John
