Greetings
Actually, Duxbury is not compressing the spaces and when a space is left after
the code, we are left with two spaces in the document.
This is what inspired the question.
All the best
Margaret

Hi Margaret,
Hope James's answer below helps.

Hi George,
Sorry to have missed your call, I was just being served in the Post Office and
I just missed it -noisy baby meant I didn't hear the phone till too late, too.
Anyway, Margaret has an interesting question, as usual.
The [nr] code, I confirm, does seem to put a space in after the line sign.
I'm not sure the space should really be automatically inserted ...but hey,
that's what Duxbury is doing.
(DBT 11.3, not checked 12.x)
RUEB says:
15.1.2 When the line by line format of print (as in a poem) is changed to a
linear format in braille, use the line indicator to mark the breaks between
lines. The line indicator is unspaced from the preceding line and is followed
by space before the following line.
So, to answer Margaret's question, it really doesn't matter if you put a space
after the code or not.
Consider the following two examples:
1. Hello[nr]How are you? (no space)
2. Hello[nr] How are you? (with a space)
When you translate both of these, they will come out the same, because of
course, Duxbury normally compresses multiple spaces.
This is probably correct behaviour.
I trust this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Hi Margaret,
It would help if the UK's Braillists' Manual gave a proper definition of a line
indicator.
I'll contact my UKAAF UEB expert and see what he says.

Greetings
I was making the 4-5-6 line sign earlier and decided to do the ol' Duxbury F9,
followed by typing nr to produce the symbol.
I noticed, however, that the code itself seems to insert a blank cell after it.
Does this mean that if you use this code, you just get into the habit of
running the text on directly from it, or do you use a different code when
inserting line signs?
Thanks in advance.
