Hi Lisa, I've been in Redmond all of the past week, and unfortunately didn't have adequate communication there, so sorry this is coming late in the day. I rather suspect that what you are seeing between the greater than and less than signs are actually HTML or XML type codes, or a derivative of same. For example, if you see "<strong>My Text</strong>", This indicates in HTML that the words "My Text" are in a bold typeface. However, without seeing the actual files in question, it's basically a guess.

When looking at these publisher's files, the codes that are in less than and greater than, is this common in terms of letting us know where different sections of the book begins and ends? I wanted to make sure. I am sure that there will be a lot of search and replace things I'll need to do to clean up the file. --------- "It's not over until I win!!!" -- Les Brown Lisa Hall San Antonio, Texas e-mail and via msn at lhall10@xxxxxxxxxxx New personal home page: http://home.satx.rr.com/lisahall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Hall" <LHALL10@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "duxbury user list" <duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 10:10 AM Subject: [duxuser] question about publisher files. > Hi everyone, > > I am in the Braille Transcription Program at Northwest Vista College taking > a course on Braille Technology 2 which focuses on various Braille > translation programs such as Duxbury, Braille 2000, and MegaDots.
