UEB Rulebook
This is a glossary version of the rulebook that allows for automatic hyperlinking of the rules.
Currently sorted By creation date ascending Sort chronologically: By last update | By creation date
14.3.7When the non-UEB text is displayed on one or more lines separate
from the UEB text, the opening and closing non-UEB passage
indicators may each be placed on a line by itself. | |
14.3.8Except in the previous instance, place non-UEB indicators at the exact
point of change from UEB to non-UEB and back, unspaced from the
symbols-sequence(s) which they precede or enclose. That is, do not
insert spaces which are not already present in the text. | |
1.3.6Other forms of English braille use special codes to represent mathematics and science, computer notation and other technical or specialised subjects. | |
14.3.9When a non-UEB code provides a symbol for switching out of that
code, use that symbol in preference to the non-UEB word terminator
or the closing non-UEB passage indicator. | |
14.5.2To switch from UEB to music braille when an indicator is necessary,
leave a space and place the opening music indicator immediately
before the musical notation. | |
11.2.2Follow print spacing in any technical notation where spacing is significant. If unsure of its significance, follow the print spacing as long as the presence or absence of spaces is clear. In cases where print spacing is indeterminate or known not to be significant, spacing should be used to reflect the structure of the expression or equation.
Note: In most common mathematics including algebra, operation signs should be unspaced on both sides but comparison signs should be spaced. Refer to: Guidelines for Technical Material, Part 1, General Principles, for more advice on the spacing of technical material. | |
14.5.3Follow the provisions of New International Manual of Braille Music
Notation for returning to UEB from music braille. | |
14.6.1When technical material is transcribed according to the provisions of
The Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Science Notation within
UEB text, the following sections provide for switching between UEB
and Nemeth Code. | |
11.3.1A simple numeric fraction is one whose numerator and denominator contain only digits, decimal points, commas or separator spaces and whose fraction line in print is drawn between the two vertically (or nearly vertically) arranged numbers. In such a case a numeric fraction line symbol is used between the numerator and denominator and continues the numeric mode. | |
14.6.2Place the opening Nemeth Code indicator followed by space before the sequence to which it applies. Its effect is terminated by the Nemeth Code terminator preceded by space. Note: The spaces required with the indicator and terminator do not
represent spaces in print. | |
