the possibility has been raised offlist that liblouis might filter tables to eliminate certain classes of contrractions to aid those who are learning braille. I would like opinions on whether this should be done by liblouis itself or by the application program that uses liblouis, such as BrailleBlaster. In the latter case, the application progrram would create new tables containing only the desired contractions. These tables could be temporary or stored for later use. Thanks, John -- John J.
