Emphasis and contractions in whole words now work properly. There are still problems with emphasis inside words, that is, where only part of a word is emphasized. This may not concern Bookshare. To get the fixes you will have to go to the repositories for liblouis and liblouisutdml To fix the problems with liblouis I had to get lou_translateString.c and lou_backTranslateString.c from revision 405 in the repository. They do not use the consolidated code in transcommon.ci, but it is still in the repository. versions of lou-TranslateString.c and lou_backTranslateString.c which do use this code for ease of maintenance can be retrieved from other revisions. There is a possibility that going back to 405 may revive some bugs. John -- John J.
