Well, I guess I'd better stop adding spaces, when I find the three
periods together (sheepish grin!). I don't mind if the Braille Lite can't
handle them, so if the spaces don't work for the Bookshare translator, I'll
remove them.
Does anyone know what translator Bookshare uses? Maybe they should think
about getting a better one. It's frustrating, for example, the way
Bookshare's BRF files often translate apostrophes as single quotes. It seems
to me that a service offering braille books should get the best translator
available.
Getting off my soapbox now. Paula
