7.7.1Place the appropriate multi-line bracket symbol on each braille line, aligning the symbols vertically. Generally, material is top justified in braille even when it is centred vertically in print. Refer to: Section 11.8, Technical Material, and Guidelines for
Technical Material, for more information. |
8.1.1Follow print for the use of capital letters. Note: The transcriber may reasonably reduce the use of capital letters in braille when they are used in print as a visual embellishment - such as for words written in capital letters at the beginning of paragraphs or chapters. Refer to: Section 9.6, of Typeforms, for how to transcribe small
capital letters when used in print as a distinctive typeform. |
8.2.1The extent of capitals mode is determined by the capitals indicator in
use. |
8.3.2Place the prefix dot 6 before a contraction when only its first letter is
capitalised. |
8.3.3Only a modifier or a ligature indicator can be positioned between a
letter and its capitals prefix.
Refer to: Sections 4.2 and 4.3, of Letters and Their Modifiers, for the
list of symbols considered to be modifiers to letters. |
8.4.1The capitalised word indicator sets capitals mode for the next letterssequence
or the remainder of the current letters-sequence. |
8.4.2The effect of a capitalised word indicator is terminated by a space, a
single capital letter, a nonalphabetic symbol, or a capitals terminator,
but not by a modifier or a ligature indicator. |
8.4.3A fully-capitalised hyphenated compound word is correctly capitalised
if it is divided at the hyphen, at the end of the braille line.
Note: This means that the new braille line will begin with the
capitalised word indicator (which is already required) following the
hyphen. |
8.4.4A hyphen inserted during transcription to indicate word division at the
end of a braille line does not terminate capitals word mode. |
8.5.1The capitalised passage indicator sets capitals mode for the next
passage |
