Hi Keith,

BrailleZephyr is just such an editor. It could be used on the files
produced by the liblouisutdml GUI.

One could make a good argument for something that does allow text editing
after the transformation of the XML. It wouldn't be the kind of tool we are
trying to create in BrailleBlaster but would rather be an editor similar to
the commercial transcription tools that are out there now - really a
glorified braille text editor.


I don't believe it would be all that difficult and would probably be very
useful to individuals and anyone who wasn't trying to meet the exacting
standards of professionally produced braille or the requirements of BANA.

Greg has already produced one for MacOS. That can provide a starting poin for
a Windows GUI. It would make full translation and formatting capabilities
available to ordinary users. Plus math and translation of both text and xml.

This would not be a replacement for BrailleBlaster. It would not have editing
capabilities.

Thanks,
John
