The brf standard requires letters to be in uppercase and also some
special symbols such as \ . liblouis uses lowercase so that translations
will look nice on a Braille display. Embossers accept either uppercase
or lowercaase. If you want something that conforms to the strict brf
standard use a tablelist like en-us-brf.dis,en-us-g2.ctb Bookshare does
this, but I don't think it is appropriate for the Braille Plus 18.
liblouis would handle capitalized letters followed by uncapitalized ones
by inserting dots 6-3 The apostrrophe throws it off. A context rule
might work. Something like:
$U1-20"'"[]$l @6-3
