Thanks to some off-list correspondence, it has occurred to me that it woulnot be difficult to handle Roman numerals in liblouis. Certainly it will be easier than hyphenation! I need to know how Roman numrals are handled in various braille codes. For example, in EBAE they are preceded by a letter sign unless they are capitalized. How are they handled in YOUR code?
