The last commit to liblouis should fix the problem with words in emphasized phrases not being contracted properly. The messages about the build failure on the liblouis list show that the index in computer Braille is off by 1. It also seems that the last few characters in computer Braille may not be indexed. Please test these two with NIMAS files. Thanks, John -- John J.
