That's great to hear. Thanks to Bookshare and Paul Wood.
Do you or anyone else know the status of UEB math with these changes? Is it
ready for prime time?
After the LibLouis 3.0 release, I see a significant commit for two UEB
tables and one Nemeth table:
"Brought over Whapples' math updates from mrg_ueb_update."

My guess is that it would be very good to grab this update to 3.0. Anyone
disagree?

Hi Neil,
liblouisutdml has been updated to use liblouis 3.0 by Bookshare and Paul
Wood. i don't know if the changes have been
pushed to the repository. You can clone the repository with the following
command.
git clone https://github.com/liblouis/liblouisutdml.git
APH is using a replacement for liblouisutdml, so they aren't keeping track
of the original.

I'm looking into updating MathPlayer's braille support to take advantageof
the UEB math support in liblouis 3.0 (MathPlayer makes use of liblouisLiblouisutdml
2.6.4 and LibLouisUTDML-2.6.0). This would allow NVDA+MathPlayer to
generate UEB math from web pages and Word docs (along with its current
Nemeth support).
I had a brief email exchange with Keith Creasy. He said that
is out of date and no longer works with liblouis. However, he didn't givechanges
details as to what changed. Comparing the Nemeth files/tables between 2.6
and 3.0, I see just a few lines of difference, so it seems like the
aren't that big (a few things surrounding emphasis vs italitcs/bold).volunteer
Can anybody elaborate on the changes made for 3.0 and suggest whether
updating Liblouisutdml to those changes is likely easy or is a waste of
time?. If a waste of time, is there an easy alternative path for getting
Nemeth and UEB math from MathML? Like many of you, this is just a
project for me so I can't dump a lot of time into the update.
Thanks,
Neil Soiffer
