We have a request for the ability to change braille tables in
documents in Louis. Here is what we are thinking of.
We propose using the XML span tag to do this. You will select the
standard braille table in Louis and then should you need to switch
into another table you would enclose that section in a span tag. with
a single attribute lang indicating the table to switch to. Like this:
<p>This is the text in the normal braille table. <span lang="en-us-
g1.ctb">This is in US English grade one.</span> We could also switch
languages like going into Swedish braille. <span lang="Se-Se-
g1.utbx">Det i svenska</span> And now we would be back to the selected
document table.</p>
Would this work for everyone?
This would work for all XML based documents which is what I highly
suggest people use anyway. Louis will attempt to render things like
email addresses and URL in computer braille and will switch into
nemmeth code braille for MathML which starts and ends with the <math>
</math> tags.
