Chris,
This is due to the fact that the liblouis table is set up to truncate
long strings of hyphens, underscores, periods, blanks, etc. such as
occur in many print documents and are only an annoyance to braille
readers. This can be handled by having a subtable with repeated opcodes
to handle these situations and placing it at the end of a table list in
the literaryTextTable line of the configuration file. However, this
would involve a minor rewrite of the liblouis tables.
I'm glad to see you bringing up these questions, because it means that
liblouis(xml) is evolving.
John
