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 .
