Hi Susan. I should have clarified my note better. The book I am scanning is not a textbook. It's a nonfiction book, Christian to be exact. As for your other questions, I'm not sure what the answers would be.

If so, should we format it as textbook Braille? If it's not considered a textbook, do we format it as we would for literary Braille? And, for the last question, do we format it for print and/or for braille readers? As with several other issues, this may be a case of where some sort of compromise is necessary. Thanks for reading and considering this matter carefully!

I had a question about footnotes. In the current book I scanned am reading for class, it has the footnote numbers written like this- there a word, followed by a period and then a number 1 for the first footnote. I wondered, how would I accurately represent this. For example, would I put a space after the period and enclose the number 1 in parentheses? I'm not sure how to handle this. Also, at the end of the book there's a chapter called End Notes ehich explains what these numbers refer to for each chapter. Thanks again as always. Monica Svopa
