Hi Mayrie,
No, I haven't explained it well. The book has a list of points, pretty
much like the following:
Apples are red and green.
Blueberries are blue and round.
Bananas are yellow and have skins you peel.
The words apples, blueberries and bananas would be underlined. Normally
I'd just bold them, or make them italic, but in this book the editors
used bolding and italics to mean something very specific to the reader.
Does that make more sense?
Oops - gotta go-- I'll check email tomorrow. Another big thunderstorm
is rumbling in!

Hi Judy,
This indicator is to denote the beginning of a list, is that correct? What
about a line with a few hyphens on it all by themselves? Would that maybe
work? And then if you need to denote the end of that kind of thing, repeat
the same line with perhaps four to six hyphens on it?
What do you think?
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Underlined text - Suggestions on what to use
Hi all,
I've got a really tough book I'm proofreading that uses underlining
in
places to show the first word of each section of an unnumbered list.
Normally, I'd use bolding, or italics, or square brackets or an
asterisk or
even font size to replace the underlining. However, in this particular
book, all of those formatting things already were used in the printed
version to denote some very specific things.
Any suggestions on what will work for a braille reader to replace the
underlining that doesn't use any of the above? I'm stumped.
Thanks!
Judy s.
