Another thought: can I just indicate that these are to be grade 1 somehow? Will that do the trick?

Ok so it is translating your lines instead of just putting them in because you have them in the text that is to be translated. This might work better: 
In your xml doc:
<boxing>
    <p>
        Para in the box.
    </p>
</boxing>
Then in your document.sem table or whichever one you're using insert this 
line:
Boxinglines boxinglines
77777777777777777777777777777777777777,ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg gggggg 
ggg

That ought to do it.

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] More fun with boxing lines

Hello John -

I created a DAISY file and added elements to insert starting and
ending boxing lines, but it would appear that liblouisxml and/or
liblouis are flipping the lines around.  The file I translated has
the following sections in it:

<level1 id="sidebarTest">
        <h1>Boxing lines test</h1>
        <span
class="startingBoxingLine">7777777777777777777777777777777777777777</
span>
        <sidebar render="required">
                <hd>This is a sidebar heading</hd>
                <p>This is a paragraph inside the sidebar</p>
                <p>The sidebar should have boxing lines around it.</p>
                <span
class="endingBoxingLine">GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG</ span> 
        </sidebar>
</level1>
<level1 id="prodnoteTest">
        <h1>Prodnote test</h1>
        <span
class="startingBoxingLine">7777777777777777777777777777777777777777</
span>
        <prodnote render="required">
                <p>This is a paragraph inside the prodnote</p>
                <p>The prodnote should have boxing lines around it.</p>
                <span
class="endingBoxingLine">GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG</ span> 
        </prodnote>
</level1>

It appears correct at this level - the starting boxing line is
comprised of 40 dot 2356 cells and the ending boxing line is
comprised of 40 dot 1245 cells.  However, when I translate this I get
the following:


          ,box+ l9es te/             c#a

#gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg-
gg
     ,sideb>3 ,? is a sideb> h1d+
   ,? is a p>agraph 9side ! sideb>
   ,! sideb> %d h box+ l9es >.d x4
,,g7777777777777777777g

              ,prodnote te/

#gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg-
gg
   ,prodnote3 ,? is a p>agraph 9side !
prodnote
   ,! prodnote %d h box+ l9es >.d x4
,,g7777777777777777777g

It would appear that liblouisxml and/or liblouis are reversing the
ending and starting boxing lines, changing the dot configuration of
the starting line and adding signs to the start of both.  I can't
find anything in the en-us-g1.ctb or en-us-g2.ctb which could explain
this behaviour - could you help?


Thanks
Chris
