I've changed the Subject as I was misleading people into thinking I was referring to UEB, Sorry!


I'm working on the SEB (GB) tables we are using.

"First, the @ (at sign) should not be "defined" with the always opcode.
This is not a definition. Characters are defined with
character-definition opcodes. In this case the correct opcode would be
sign or punctuation. The definition should be in en-ueb-g2.ctb Search
for the actual @ character in a text editor."

I have found:
sign @ 2346
in  "ukchardefs.cti" (Note: is it possible to keep to some sort of standard for 
naming tables. sometimes uk, sometimes gb and also en-ueb.cti etc.)
which is included in "en-gb-g1.utb" which it's self has:
always @ 2346
which is included in "en-GB-g2.ctb"

So am I to understand, John, that the opcode in "en-gb-g1.utb" (always @ 2346) 
is superfluous?
Is this also true of all the other characters already defined in "ukchardefs.cti" which 
are in "en-gb-g1.utb"?

Thanks
Paul

Should not the at sign @ be 4-1 in UEB and not 2346?

Sorry not to be answering your question here, but to do with testing tables 
etc. Is there a way to know where a particular translation rule is being obeyed 
from? To solve this problem we have:
We want the @ sign to be 2346 etc. we check the table we presume it should be 
in and it is defined as always @ 2346 so presumably something else is 
interceding. Is there a way without systematically  going through the tables to 
find the command which is overriding this one?
Thanks
Paul

Now that the UEB tables are in the liblouis svn we can test both
translation and back-translation. The best tool for this is
lou_allround, which is available if you have built liblouis on Linux or
Mac. It is completely interactive. After you give it a table name you
can type r for run and then type in anything you want. It will show both
the translation and back-translation and will even tell you if the
back-translation matches the original by displaying the message "perfect
roundtrip!"

If there is sufficient demand this facility can be made available on
Windows through a BrailleBlaster subcommand.
