My goal is to make the combination of liblouis and liblouisutdml a
complete transcription package for braille and tactile graphics. This
includes dividing a book into volumes and formatting them correctly. I
view liblouis, liblouisutdml and BrailleBlaster as a single project. As
I like to say liblouis and liblouisutdml are the Braille transcruotion
engine. BrailleBlaster is the rest of the car.
