Oh no kidding I have actually been impressed at how well we have got liblouis
to work with many things and hyphens is just another fun thing to fight around.
I think the Biggest problem for braille in the future is when the codes are
designed like UEB the people on the committees are still thinking mainly for
literature braille. When using braille as output on a computer I have found
that we need to come up with a more generic braille code that can easily be
back translated no matter if we are dealing with literature or a coding
language or a linux path with colons between words with no spaces. I think
when full page displays become available there is going to have to be yet
another transformation of the braille code to take into account the fact that
weird things like computer code some poetry and stuff that is just not normal
literature will still need to be quickly and accurately translated by non
humans.
I will go read your article now.

Thanks Ken. I understand you need a simple notation if, for example, a rule
applies to three or more adjacent hyphens.
You also mentioned groups. Regex groups are very powerful and might be the best
alternative but, on the other hand, I must admit it took me more than five
minutes to get comfortable with them.
You've given me an opening to link to my article about the difficulties of
dealing with hyphens in English braille:

Thanks again for the clarification.
