Hi Allison,Well, this is a problem. What Carrie says exactly contradicts what Jake has told us repeatedly. So what's the real story?

Hi Mayrie, Actually, I wondered about this before posting this message. I asked Carrie whether or not the stripper would remove blank lines from inside the texts and she said it would not. So since the blanks will be retained, I thought I'd ask folks if they liked the blanks. I'm glad you brought up this question though, it was the one I had myself.

So, I'm not sure that our opinions matter.

I'm validating a book that has a lot of headings and almost no blank lines separating them. I know that when I'm rereading hardcopy Braille, it's great to have the headings separated with blank lines, but the experience isn't the same with a Braille display. Do those of you reading with displays still like to have the headings separated by blank lines? I've been doing that, but if it doesn't make a big difference then I won't. Also, what about numbered lists, do you like a blank line after each numbered item? How about bulleted lists? I've been changing the bullets into stars upon the suggestion of many of you on this list, but I hadn't asked about the blank lines before. All feedback is welcome. It won't lead to any official Bookshare policy, this is just for my own reference.
