16.3.3When a variant vertical or diagonal line segment is used, describe the
line it represents on the special symbols page or in a transcriber's
note. | |
16.4.1When lines and other elements of a diagram, such as an arrow, are
touching or continuous, position the corresponding braille characters
adjacent to one another, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. | |
16.4.2Even when the left end of a horizontal line forms a corner or crossing
with a vertical or diagonal line, open the horizontal line with the
horizontal line mode indicator. | |
16.4.3Use a space before and after each vertical line segment, first variant
vertical line segment, second variant vertical line segment or
combination of such segments. When a vertical line or one of the
variant vertical lines crosses a diagonal line or is too close to a
diagonal line, use either of the diagonal line segments or variant
diagonal line segments. | |

gap in the braille, as in a table of contents or columned material. Use
no less than two guide dots and leave at least one blank cell before
and after the sequence. | |
