Hi Lori,

If I were doing the book I would delete the brackets because those words do 
not have brackets in them in the Bible.  Since it is quoting the Bible, that 
would seem appropriate.  Just my opinion though.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question about Bracketed Letters


Hi, Everyone,
In a book I am proofreading, there are some quotations from the Bible.
All of the quotations begin and end with a quotation mark.
In a few of these quotations, the first letter is surrounded with brackets; 
the letter is the first letter of a word, i.e. "[C]ast your cares upon Him."
I don't really understand why the letter is bracketed; for braille reading 
sake should I remove the brackets? Or since they are truly part of the book, 
should I leave them in place?
Thanks.
Lori C.
