10.6.5Use the lower groupsign for "ea", "bb", "cc", "ff", or "gg" when the letters it represents are both preceded and followed by a letter, a contraction, a modified letter or a ligatured letter unless other rules limit its use. Note: These signs may also represent punctuation signs. | |
10.6.10Use any number of lower groupsigns and lower punctuation signs
following one another provided the sequence includes a sign with upper dots and no other rules limit their use. For the purposes of this
rule, any type of quotation mark which may be present is considered
to have only lower dots. If there is not a sign with upper dots in the
sequence, do not use the final lower groupsign. | |
10.6.6Do not use the lower groupsign for "ea", "bb", "cc", "ff", or "gg"
when the letters it represents are preceded or followed by a capitals
indicator or a capitals terminator. | |
10.6.9To prevent it from being misread as "enough", do not use the lower
groupsign for "en" when the letters "en" are "standing alone".
Refer to: Section 2.6, Terminology and General Rules, for the
definition of "standing alone". | |
10.6.8Use the lower groupsign for "en" or "in" wherever the letters it
represents occur unless other rules limit its use. | |
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. | |
