Good morning, Duxbury listers,
I'm running Duxbury 10.4 with Windows 98.
In a recent brailling job, I encountered the following situation.
Line to translate:
[tab]www.webmasters.net
The desired result is:
[col 3]www.webmasters.net [in CBC, with "begin"and "end" indicators]
I preceded the web address with the "tab" code. Then, I highlighted the
web address itself and applied the "compinline" style. The web address
translated correctly, but began in column 1, ignoring the preceding tab.
Noting that the "compinline" style's sole beginning code is "cbi" and its
sole ending code is "txi", I removed the "compinline" style and placed the
above codes themselves in the line (i.e., "cbi" after the tab and before
the web address, and "txi" after the web address).
This time, the line began in column 3 (the desired result), and, as before,
the web address translated correctly.
Question: Why was the tab preserved when I applied the actual codes from
the "compinline" style, but not when I applied the style itself? Is there
something really basic that I'm missing here (smile)?
Needless to say, I found this quite curious.
John Luttenberger
