Hi Lindy. The answer is that it is not provided for in CBC. I was told that, until they develop an answer, a tn should explain that the last o in the address has an umlaut (or something like that)
Since cross references are not dealt with in Nemeth Code, Braille Formats will rule. A cross reference is preceded and followed by a blank line, begins in cell 7 with runovers in cell 7. Remember that no reference indicators are used with a cross reference.
Hi Lindy. I have contacted the BANA CBC chair about your question, and I am awaiting a reply. Sorry to take so long with your question.
I'm pretty sure it does not. Be aware that the principles of Promising Practices are being re-evaluated. Hopefully, a final document will soon be released.
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I am now feeling confident that I have been brailling these items correctly.
The Nemeth Code doesn't deal with tables, etc. except to say that we look to Braille Formats for that. You are correct that columns and tables begin in cell 1. It doesn't matter if they are in subdivisions or main items. According to Braille Formats, if material is shown in a box or on a shaded background in print, it should be boxed in braille.
What an interesting situation! The rule you cite MAY apply here. It actually depends on the context for this a tilde, which you rightly identify as NOT listed in the conventional Spanish alphabet symbols. Please post at least one page or possibly more of the print text. Please include any pages that may be present in your print that explains this.

Thanks!

I agree that your example does not require that you retain the boldface -- but to answer your question:
The code does not cover the situation you questioned. You cannot use the bold face indicator for letters which applies only to the letter which immediately follows it. You don't individually bold face the I and V because they are not individual letters. That leaves you with the open and close bold face indicators which could cause a problem with the hyphen that follows. If it were absolutely necessary to retain a distinctive typeface in your situation, I think another method would have to be developed -- either a tn stating that the roman numerals are in bold face, or perhaps enclosing the bold face roman numerals in grouping signs not otherwise used in your text.
Yes, the text "does" always specify in words the sections where answers will be found.
After reading your questions, I do think I can leave the bold face off and that it's not necessary to keep it.
Thank you very much.The criteria for special margins are: must be displayed, signs of comparison are vertically aligned in print, and no sign of comparison may be preceded by any expression on its left. If your expression satisfies these requirements then you would use special margins. It's easier to answer something like this when I can see a picture of the actual print. I am assuming that your expression is not embedded and that the equal signs all line up vertically. If that is the case, the word "or" should have no impact on your formatting.
Does the text define the use of bold face Roman numerals for the reader? Is the question always asked as in your example? If the text always specifies in words the sections where answers will be found, is it still necessary to use bold face? This would be so much easier if I had the book to look at. I know that is not possible, so be patient with my questions.
