agreed. I wasn't saying it wasn't important. In fact, the print and braille
would have their own independent page numbering, and the value of the print
page number would have to be available for a note in the corresponding braille.
Agreed?
When I said that all word processor functionality would not be implemented in
brailleblaster, I meant only that we are not duplicating MS Word. The first
release of bb will have a subset.

Hi,
If I understand the issue correctly, page numbering is important. Take for
instance Textbooks, where it is important to know the print page number in
order to follow what the instructor is assigning for homework or the novel
where having the print page numbers helps two friends enjoy reading together.

ah, this is a good list.
Some comments:
1. How about users-brailleblaster to make it easier to search?
2. These are discussed in the spec written by John Gardener -- all except
for the features not handled by other translators. (We should probably
separate JohnB and JohnB as they are both on this list.)
3. The page numbering utility is more of a word processing question than
a
braille transcription question. This doesn't mean it shouldn't be
supported -- a question: how much word processing functionality should we
put into brailleblaster? I think it would be a good idea to keep the
implementation abstract enough that things can be added later.
Thank you for your comments.

John,
I think it could be called brailleblaster-users. It might be early.
However, here are my topics:
the interface
the editor
the translator
the importer
needs of users not addressed by current braille translators
I will give you an example of the last one. I produce a constitution for
a
major religious denomination. I insert the cyhapters, and the pages have
to
be renumbered each time.
One thing that would help me is if I could number the pages for each
chapter. I would make them 11-1, 11-2 for the braille pages in Chapter
11.
I realize that this is not standard, but it would make my job easier.
Another thing I would like to see is an easy way to work with translation
tabiles, perhaps similar to the JAWS dictionary.
