9.3.1A typeform word indicator sets the designated typeform for the next
symbols-sequence or the remainder of the current symbols-sequence. | |
9.3.2The effect of the typeform word indicator is terminated by space (but not by a numeric space or by space at the end of a braille line in a divided symbols-sequence). Refer to: 9.4 for more information and examples. | |
9.4.1A typeform passage indicator sets the designated typeform for the
next passage. | |
9.4.2A passage is three or more symbols-sequences. | |
9.4.3A passage is terminated by the designated typeform terminator
following the last affected symbol. | |
9.4.4A typeform word indicator may also be terminated within a symbolssequence by the designated typeform terminator. Refer to: 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9. | |
9.5.1Use transcriber-defined typeform indicators for significant print typeform changes other than italics, boldface, underlining or script. This includes but is not limited to: different-sized type; coloured type; crossed-out type; sans serif font; and double, dotted, coloured or wavy underlining. List the transcriber-defined typeform indicator on the special symbols page or in a transcriber's note giving the print typeform it represents. Refer to: 9.6 for discussion and examples of small capitals. | |
9.6.1Although within a document all abbreviations and/or Roman numerals may be in small capitals, in braille these are best transcribed as capitals. Refer to: Section 8, Capitalisation. | |
9.6.2Print sometimes uses small capitals for emphasis or distinction.
These can usually be recognized by the use of regular size capitals for
the letters of the small capitals text which are capitalised. When the change in typeform is significant, use a transcriber-defined typeform
indicator in braille. | |
9.7.1It is preferred that typeform indicators and terminators and any
paired characters such as parentheses, square brackets and quotes
be nested; that is, close punctuation and indicators in reverse order
of opening. | |
