Now we do need the history information in the svn repository. My latest attempts to fix emphasis problems have only broken things that were already working. I need to go back to the versions of lou_translateString.c lou_backTranslateString.c and transcommon.ci from about three months ago. Does anyone know how to do this in svn? Or perhaps someone has the tarball of the nest-to-last release. When I wrote the emphasis and capitalization algorithms I was unaware of the requirements of many braille codes, in particular putting end-of-emphasis and of capitalization after the last word of a phrase, rather than before. The presient algorithm will have to be replaced, probably by an extension of the context opcode with a new emphasis opcode. For anyone who wants to get dizzy, the problem is in the function validMatch in lou-translateString.c, but it may not be limited to that function. Thanks, John -- John J.
