Introduction
------------
Liblouisxml is a library intended to provide complete braille
transcription services for xml documents. It translates into
appropriate braille codes and formats according to its style sheet and
the specifications in the document. A command-line program, xml2brl
which uses this library is also included. The latest version of
liblouis is required.
Changes in this release

This release brings in the many bug fixes and feature enhancements that
Bert Frees has done while working on the odt2braille Braille extension
to OpenOffice.org Writer[1].
New features

a letter (a, b, c, etc.) on continued pages.
- pageSeparator: Enable or disable placing of a page separator

a separate line for page numbers when they are placed at the top
or bottom.
