The latest UEBC rule list that I saw stated that contractions were indeed to
be used in computer addresses. They are supposed to be treated the same as
the literary text. If anyone has a fresher UEBC rule book please let me
know.
Also a contact is telling me that the UEBC now allows the lower-cell double
letter contractions but my rulebook says otherwise. Anyone know if it is
correct to use them or not in UEBC?
Thanks
Mike

James,
Computer braille translation is handled by the functions doCompbrl and
doCompTrans in lou_translateString.c . There may also be a problem when
a hyphen proceeds a string to be translated in computer braille. This
is true even if there is a space. There is also some special code to
handle the case where a joinableword proceeds something to be translated
in computer braille, but I can't remember where that is at the moment.
Does UEBC even have computer braille? I thought that what is computer
braille in en-us-g2.ctb is simply uncontracted in UEBC.
I'm not surprised that these problems don't occur in en-us-g2.ctb,
because that's where the testing was done.
Hope this helps,
John
