Kathy,
Will do. Thanks. Just thought there might be a standard practice as the
various codes come together.

Jean,
UEB does not prescribe formatting. That is still done at the local level,
according to your country's braille authority.
At this stage, your best bet would be to follow what your Braille Formats
document prescribes until this is updated. You may want to contact your braille
authority for clarification on this matter.

I need some clarification, please. Using UEB for braille and Braille Formats
2011 for formatting.
For plays and dialogue, Braille Formats 14.1.2 says: "All speaker and
character names, or abbreviated names, are initially-capitalized." UEB says to
follow print for capitalization. If speaker names are all capped in print,
which format takes precedence?
Braille Formats 14.5.3 Stage Directions Between Lines of Prose Dialogue. c.
says: Ignore font attributes used for stage directions.
Again, UEB seems to retain more attributes than does Braille Formats. The text
I am working from has the directions in parentheses and italicized. Which rule
book takes precedence?
Thanks.
Jean
