Yes John. It is easy enough using BrailleBlaster to add a missing space in the
content. Much more difficult to fix it if LibLouisUTDML is doing the wrong
thing.

John, this is very strange. How can one distinguish am emphasized letter or
phrase that is part of a word from emphasized words or phrases unless spaces
are explicitly indicated somehow? If one writes in html and leaves out spaces
between two text spans, those two text spans have no space between them in the
output.

I put the \s in dtbook.sem to keep words from running together. It causes a
space to be placed before the text in the em tag. Without it there are a lot of
words run together in Bookshare files. That is messy, because it makes liblouis
think that there is an ialicized part of a word. I don't know if it is
necessary in nimas.sem .
nemeth.sem uses the third column a lot. You can see how it is used by looking
at transcribe_math in transcribe_math.c .
