Dash and variable

[Tung]

Hello Kyle

Section 2.13 Introduction to Braille Mathematics (new)  (or section 23a page 17  old IM) said that:

"No space is left between an ellipsis or long dash and a related decimal point, monetary symbol, percent, or prime sign." but it does not say other cases:

If I have function like this:  y = ----x + ----

Do I need a space between the first long dash and the variable X?

Thank you very much

Tung,

If in Nemeth Code you have a long dash followed by a variable, then a space should follow the long dash. (See §42 of the Nemeth Code.)

So, for

y = __x + __

the appropriate transcription would be

⠽⠀⠨⠅⠀⠤⠤⠤⠤⠀⠭⠬⠀⠤⠤⠤⠤

Thank you for you question.

Sincerely,
Kyle

Thank you very much.
