Sounds good.  Can you give some examples of complicated rules?

Thanks,
John

Hi,
Since I'm in charge, I'll read your table and implement the first
part (the table entries themselves).  First, I'll remove the
entries you specified (with the "remove" keyword).  Then I'll
upload the first edited version on the NVDA SVN (under
ko/LibLouis directory).  Then we'll move onto other changes, as
needed.
Also, for complicated rules, we need to talk with John.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] changes required to UEB-g2 table

Hello,
As promised some time ago, I have attached a list of recommended
changes to the UEB-g2 table for liblouis.  If someone is able to
implement these changes I would then be pleased to test the
results.
Some points to note:

* I have listed only those items which need to be changed.

*        I have not dealt with shortforms in this file but have
made lots of notes and can send a separate file early next year
if work is not already underway on this issue?

*        UEB is much more liberal in the use of contractions
across syllables, which is why a lot of entries can be removed.

New rules are required to implement the following concepts which
are new in UEB:

*        The standing alone rule (which defines when a wordsign
can be used).

*        Use the alphabetic wordsign when the word it represents
is followed by an apostrophe with the following letters: d, ll,
re, s, t, ve

*        "Do not use the final-letter groupsign for "ness" when
the feminine ending "ess" is added to a word ending in "en" or
"in".  For example, "ness" is not used in "chieftainess",
"citizeness" or "heatheness".

*        Capitalisation passages and terminators
I understand that work is already underway on other issues such
as typeform indicators.

Thank you!
Leona
