It was noted in private correspondence that the configuration setings in liblouisutdml did not support handling of emphasis. A new configuration setting, emphasis, has now been added. Any and all of italic, underline, bold and computer_braille can be specified for inclusion in the output. the work all is also accepted, meaning that all emphasis in the document should be included. Actual dot patterns for the emphasis indicators must be specified in liblouis tables. This should make the liblouisutdml configuration settings sufficient to handle all template requirements. in addition, special settings for a document can be included in a call to liblouisutdml or even in a <meta> tag. The format setting for PEF has been added, but not yet implemented. BrailleBlaster will have to specify embossers in some way other than liblouisutdml configuration setings, since embosser drivers are deliberately not included in liblouisutdml. John -- John J.
