Hi Keith,
We will have to give some attention to communicating clearly. I've been
surprised at how difficult that can be, but maybe it isn't surprising.
Everything needed for the Braille view is contained in the UTDML which
is added to the document by liblouisutdml. Layout information is
contained in the newpage and newline elements. The xy attribute of the
latter gives the position of the line on the page and indentation. The
UTDML part actually contains the rendering of the print document. It is
handled by the UTD class in the wordprocessor. The only action required
is the one for calling that class.
Could you expand on the mvc model as it applies to BrailleBlaster?
Thanks,
John
