Yes, they do, but for whatever reason, they're not present in the Bookshare
files. Take care.

Hello,
Braille does have the capacity to render Italics or Bold text with marks. A
good braille translation software should render this information correctly.
I have not used Kurzweil or Openbook to convert to braille. But, typically
translators based on Duxbury have this capacity.

Hi Jill,
Sometimes the italic font is actually scanned correctly, but unfortunately
the Braille displays don't know how to represent it with italics. I know
that some programs can be set to speak italicized text in a different voice,
but I don't know whether the italics are preserved in the Daisy version of
books. I'm sure it's not preserved in brf files.
