In the recipe books that my BN reads, the fractions come out correctly, so
please keep them in the conventional fraction format.
The only time they don't come out correct is when there is a space after the
slash. The Braillenote uses duxbury which the Bookshare system uses.
H.T.H. but keep the fractions as fractions, after all that is HOW they are
in the book and cook books in general.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Computer braille does handle the slash, as I use my braille display all the
time for cook books.
You did it right Monica.
