Insert a blank or two blank cells.

[Soo Ja Kim]

I find the examples of those rules confusing. If there's only one row of words which one is right? a blank cell or two blank cells? Please find the attached pictures for the examples. Can you clarify about these rules?

• Rule 10.7.2 - Word List for Multiple Questions

b. Insert a blank line before and after the word list.

• Rule 11.2.5 - General Format for Tables

b. Each column is separated from a following column by two blank cells.

 

Thank you for your help!

Hello Soo,

Thank you for your question.

Tables consist of a relationship between columns and rows, which suggests that there should be more than one row of entries. I find it puzzling that the author of the second screenshot concluded that just a single row of text should be treated as a table.

You have accurately identified the example from the Braille Formats that pertains to your situation. (BF sample 10-5) However, this example is reliant on  BF9.2.4, which outlines the format for Displayed Short Word lists and which states in part:

"Horizontal word lists across the print page must fit on a single braille line, with each word separated by a blank cell"

I recommend following the example from Section 10 and the Guidelines in Section 9.

Michael
