In the attached glossary entry the entry word is used in a sentence. The sentence is shown in italics with the guide word in bold. Would you retain the italics and bold?
Please see Section 12.2b of the NBA Interim Manual for Foreign Language Braille Transcribing. It states that special typeface for entry and subentry words is ignored. Special typeface is retain only WITHIN an entry to indicate emphasis or discintction.
Please let me know if further information is needed.

Thank you, Joanna.
I read Section 12.2b several times, but I guess I thought the italics were to distinguish the example sentence from the definition and the bold was emphasizing the word used in the example. As someone pointed out, sometimes we over think.
I will omit the italics and bold.
Not so fast! You know, it might be a good idea to scan the entire print page and send that, so I could get some context here. As I look at adversario in the last line, could that be the entry word used in that sentence? If so, I would keep that emphasis. That's the sort of thing the rule refers to. You can just use 46 italics for that emphasis. There, the word WITHIN the sentence is emphasized and this is shown in braille.
Does that help?
