Actualy what I am trying to do is quite unusual (so I wouldn't mention my case it the doc), but I can imagine the feature could be useful for other purposes as well.
I want to produce braille in PEF-format. Because this is not (yet?) a feature of liblouisxml itself, I'm converting the plain text output of xml2brl into a PEF-xml file with java. Therefore I needed a special symbol denoting the end of a volume (similar to \n\r for lineEnd and \f for pageEnd). The semantic action and table entry would look something like this:
generic volume \*@9abcdef sign \x1234 9abcdefMy first choise for the 'volumeEnd' character was a unicode control character: 001C (file separator). But apparently this doesn't work, so I chose a character between 0020 and FFFF.
It maybe a good idea to include support for PEF in liblouisxml. On 22/02/2010 11:35, Christian Egli wrote:
Hi Bert Bert Frees<bert.frees@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes:But I found a workaround for this problem. You can use a virtual dot pattern and assign any unicode character to this virtual dot pattern, like: generic td @9abcdef and in your translation table: sign \x1234 9abcdefMaybe we should mention this in the documentation somewhere. Can you say what your use case is? Thanks Christian
