Start of a list on top of a braille page

[Tung]

Hello Cindi,

Per Braille Format 2011 Section 8.3.4b page 8-5: Does this mean the list ALWAYS starts on line 3 when a running head is used regardless how many blank lines are left at the end of the previous page?

Please help clarify this matter. Thank you very much.

8.3.4 Lists Starting at the Top of Braille Pages

a. A list can start on line 1 when a running head is not used, if there are two or more blank lines at the bottom of the previous page. Start the list on line 2 when braille is on the last, or next-to-last line of the previous page.

b. A list starts on line 3 when a running head is used.

The guidelines specify in this section that a list starts on line 3 when a running head is used.

Thank you very much.

Does the reply below also hold true for centered, cell-5, and cell-7 headings. I have a software issue that is placing a cell-5 heading on line 2 when I do not have a running head.

Thanks

BF 4.3.1 says "A heading can be placed on line 1 of the braille page if a running head is not used."
