students-designed for teachers of students who are blind or visually
impaired and school personnel who produce braille.
2. An overview of the NBA Braille Formats Course and Certification
Test-designed for experienced transcribers who are producing textbooks.
Presenters are all nationally recognized experts in the particular braille
discipline that they will be teaching:
. Literary Braille

Aloha Nadine,
I don't know what your print looks like, but if there is a space
before the dash and the end italic comes after the dash, it would
make sense to me that DBT would treat it as three different words.
However, if the braille is to be shown correctly I think it may be like
this:
Coded print:
She read <italic>Jane Eyre</italic> - a book considered to be a classic.
Translated Braille:
,%e r1d .,jane .,eyre--a book 3sid]$ 6be a classic4
I hope this makes sense.
Betsy
