Font attributes

[Chris Clemens]

In the old Braille format 1997 it is written on page 43 The italic indicator is used when it is necessary to indicate any of these print typefaces in the braille edition. In Braille format 2011 is it the same thing? Can I replace all typefaces by italic indicator or if I keep the bolded and the underlined indicators to follow the print content.

See Section 5 Font Attributes. This has changed a great deal from the old 1997 Braille Formats. In general, follow print for the different types of of attributes. Keep bold for bold and underlining for underlined text. See in particular 5.3 on situations in which font attributes can be ignored and 5.9 for situations in which font attributes can be changed or substituted. This material is used to help the transcriber makes decisions about font attributes.
