I tried setting like this: # Braille indicators numsign 3456 number sign, just a dots operand multind 56-6 letsign capsign letsign 56 capsign 6 begcaps 6-6 endcaps 6-3 firstwordital 46-46 lastworditalafter 46-3 lenitalphrase 4 firstletterital 46-2 lastletterital 46-3 firstwordbold 46-46 lastwordboldafter 46-3 begcomp 6-346 endcomp 6-346 copied from the info I sent you before. The results: Multi words in Italic double ital sign to start (46-46) - Correct double end italic sign (46-3-46-3) - incorrect should be (46-3) Single Italic word double ital sign before (46-46) - incorrect should be (46) end ital sign - incorrect should not be there This version of liblouis is giving worse results that Bert's odt2braille. I will see next week, if there isn't a new build by then, if I can extract his xml2brl.exe etc. Paul On 21 May 2011 13:06, John J.
