Dear Steve,
I know that Duxbury is supposed to go by the braille rules and I thought one
rule was capitalizing is supposed to be normal when it is not used for
emphasis or for a title etc. I'm thinking of literary braille rules not
textbook. So if DBT offered a code or a table or a style so that a person
could automatically translate selected text from upper case to normal in
braille, wouldn't that make sense?
