Hi John,

 

I have a question about en-gb-g1.utb. Some of the standard punctuation
characters do not back-translate when using this table. For example,
semicolon correctly forward-translates to '2' but the '2' does not get
converted back to semicolon on back-translation. This occurs when the
semicolon is at the end of a word and also when it is on its own. In the
table semicolon is handled by the line:

 

always ; 23

 

The same problem occurs for colon, exclamation mark, question mark, period,
etc.  However, ampersand, tilde, and the square brackets, which also use the
always opcode but result in two braille cells rather than one cell,
back-translate OK.  

 

Is this a problem with the always opcode, or shouldn't it be used in this
way?

 

Jonathan
