8.8.1Choose the method which retains the usual braille form. | |
8.8.2Choose the method which best conveys the meaning. In particular, choose a method that avoids the need for capital indicators or terminators within natural subunits of an expression. Note: In the examples below such subunits are the chemical element
Br in KBr, the abbreviation Sc in BSc or the word Ontario in
TVOntario. | |
8.8.3Choose the method which gives consistency throughout a single title. | |
8.9.1When in print an accented letter in a fully capitalised word is shown
in lowercase, the lowercase representation may be ignored in braille,
except when facsimile transcription is required. Such practice should
be explained in a transcriber's note. | |

9.1.1Despite wide use of different typeforms in print, it is not always
necessary to indicate them when transcribing into braille. For
example, print will commonly use a distinctive typeface for headings.
This usage is generally ignored in braille where formatting will
distinguish the headings from the rest of text. Also the print practice
of italicising all variables in technical material is ignored. | |
9.1.2Typeform indicators are considered necessary in braille when the
print change in typeform is significant because it indicates emphasis
or shows distinction, e.g. foreign words in English text, titles within
text, subject headings on paragraphs, silent thought, computer input
distinguished from computer output, or the class of a variable in
mathematics. | |
9.1.3When it cannot be determined whether or not a change of typeform
is significant, indicate the change. | |
9.2.1A typeform symbol indicator sets the designated typeform for the
next letter or symbol. | |
9.2.2When a typeform symbol indicator precedes a contraction, only the
first letter is affected. | |
9.2.3If any letter of a contraction other than the first is to be preceded by
a typeform symbol indicator, the contraction is not used. | |
