Maybe this is a dumb question on my part but...
Isn't the transcription of print to braille supposed to be as faithful
as reasonably possible?
Therefore, if the text is unserlined etc. shouldn't it be using the
emphasis indicators for inside the CBC start and end?
This could apply to program code where the keywords are bold etc.
Is there a difference in that interpretation based on nationality
boundaries?
I ask since I have a document where the author specifically does some
hyperlinks in italics and underlined but other hyperlinks are just
unerelined.
I understand that braille doesn't make a distinction between these
combinations, it being treated as eigher on or off in terms of emphasis.
Thanks,
J.R.

Susan, I understand what you are saying in response to my previous post
however, I do not believe that we should need to be altering the Word
hyperlink style.
Surely, DBT can be programmed to ignore the underlining of hyperlink
text when the text is within DBT set in the compinline codes. By doing
as you suggest and changing the hyperlink style within the Word template
would affect the visual look of all word documents and to my mind, this
would be completely unsatisfactory.
I hope this makes sense to programmers like Peter and Jo. I will be
interested to hear your responses.
Kind regards
Christine
