Hello,
In the BrailleBlaster development team we are noticing some issues with
liblouis and emphasis. I believe in all cases the bold typeform is being
placed in the typeforms array and for the entire string length.
The first one is that the following string is leading to the end
indicator being inserted in the wrong place, it comes before the final D.
Leslie W. Crawford, Ed.D.
This was noticed when using BrailleBlaster, so i decided to do some
tests with lou_allround to see whether it was an issue with
BrailleBlaster or liblouis.
In addition to the above issue, I spotted that emphasis seems to not
work when additional spaces are inserted at the beginning of the string,
the index value of the indicators does not seem to change. Take the
following strings (ignore quotes, they are only to help see the spaces):
"Leslie W. Crawford, Ed.D."
" Leslie W. Crawford, Ed.D."
" Leslie W. Crawford, Ed.D."
I think we can agree the translations should be the same except for
additional spaces at the beginning, but this is not.
I have tested this latter one with liblouis 2.6.0, tried it with both
en-us-g2.ctb and en-GB-g2.ctb but neither give the result of same
translation except for leading spaces. So I suspect this might be an
issue with the emphasis code rather than a specific table.
Can others confirm these issues?
