We also need to consider that the actual delimiter will be different depending
on the translation table.

Hi John.
I could be mixed up about the sybol. Yes, I thought it was dots 3-6 but now
that you mention it maybe it is 63.My poit is that transcriber's notes have a
beginning and ending delimiter. I just want to be sure we have the ability to
define that as part of a style. There is also the selection of whether to make
it a blck or inline element based oon the number of words. Basically we have a
style for inline trnotes and block trnotes.
Do we have what we need to make this work?
