Hi James,
I don't remember the exact name of it, but the American Grade 2 that
preceded UEB in the U.S., the one I grew up with.

Sorry, before attempting to answer your question, what braille code(s) are your
files encoded in?
With best regards

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] Where is the computer braille indicator?
Hi,
My BrailleLite M20 died, and I need to backtranslate my files. The M20 allows
you to escape text from translation by surrounding it with dots 4-36 and 4-123.
You can also escape a single character with dot 4.
1. Can I do what I want by changing the computer braille indicator in the
table to those characters? (I'll have to process the single-character escape
to turn it into the 4-36 4-123 sequence.) If so, where is the computer braille
indicator defined. I looked through en-us-g2.ctb and a couple of other files
and did not find it.
2. If that won't work, it looks like I could preprocess it to make XML for
brl2file. Is there a Windows binary for liblouisutdml and brl2file?
3. Failing that, my brief look at the documentation suggests that I should be
able to take __init__.py and setup.py from the python folder of the liblouis
source and write a Python program to call
lou_backTranslateString to translate the strings between escapes and
concatenate them with the escaped strings. I assume there's no state that
needs to be preserved across the escapes. Will that work?
Is there a better simpler totally obvious way to do this that I've missed?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Gary Campbell
