I received a tentative answer on the Duxbury export .lbf format --- Change
the file extension to .brf and it can be opened on refreshable braille
displays (at least it does on the ones my student uses).
I did this and sent it to my student. She could open the file, but the
formatting was not as desired. She reports: I could not see page numbers
at all and I was unable to search the document. In addition, the formatting
was off. All of the formatting symbols appeared to be in computer braille,
and paragraphs and problems in the problem sets did not start on new lines.
I don't know whether any of these formatting problems could be overcome.
For now, we will just use the Duxbury .brf export option.

*Subject:* [duxuser] .lbf format for eReaders
I have a question about the .lbf export format. I have a student I am
doing a math book for, and she uses an eReader. It would be nice to format
the braille output without braille page breaks, just the print page breaks.
I thought the .lbf format would do that, but she says she can't open the
file on either of her eReaders. She is using a Humanware Braille Note Touch
Plus as well as a braille display by HIMS called Edge 40.
Is there a way to make this format work? Do you have any suggestions?
