Dear Valerie,
I write the word blank in brackets. If there were two blanks with a space
between I'd write [blank blank].
Good for you doing what I call a "hard book." It's pure enjoyment flowing
along with nice no frills fiction, but I feel a little prouder of the, "hard
books," like books like cookbooks, pictures to describe or forms. just as
long as I have the determination to finish them. Good luck and good night.
Always with love,
Lissi

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] formatting in a textbook
I have a question for everyone. I am working on a Spanish grammar book.
Obviously it is something very different from what I am used to, but I am
enjoying it so far. Anyway, I would like some feedback as to people's
preferred way for representing a fill in the blank section, often in the
middle of a sentence, as well as they often have examples that have bolded
arrows in front of some of the options. If I was strictly doing this for a
sighted person I would just probably put a series of five underscores for
fill in the blank, but I am instead considering bracketing the phrase fill
in the blank. In terms of the bolded arrows within examples, I was thinking
about just putting a >and a proofreader's note before the text of the book
begins on what was previously a blank page.
All feedback is greatly appreciated!
Valerie
