G'day Dave,
I think we're going to be pulled into line about being off topic soon,
and I'm no expert on the construction of the written language (maybe we
need the input of an English teacher), but to me a list groups together
variations of the same subject material which are all related closely to
each other, whereas paragraphs tend to be disparate and further the
thread of the material rather than grouping it. Does that make
sense????!!!!
In any case, if the list exists in print and we don't want to rewrite
the book, shouldn't we also transcribe as a list in Braille?
Alan.

Hi Alan.
I don't know about semantics (or BANA rules), but an
"astricised"? list (did I just invent a new word?!) is a
lot easier for a touch reader to locate quickly..
Yes. That makes sense. List navigation is easier.
Does the fact that it is a list at all provide you (or any reader)
with additional information though? Perhaps it does say, here's more
of the same, so I'm not missing much if I skip them, for which the
list structure is valuable.
regards DaveP.
