Question:
Subject: BF 2.10.2g (print identifier in TOC - chapter, lesson, etc.) and BF Sample 2-12
In BF Sample 2-12 the word CHAPTER is placed in cell 1 at the beginning of the TOC according to
BF 2.10.2g. If you were to braille the entire sample, would 2.10.2g also apply to the word APPENDIX
before the back matter entries? Would you place APPENDIX in cell 1 by itself and omit it before
individual entries, or would you retain APPENDIX before individual entries?Answer:
The same rule could be applied to Appendix. Pull it out and put it above the Appendix entries. If you don't, then the Chapter entry may appear to also apply to the Appendix entries.

claurentParticipantThis is not specifically addressed in Braille Formats. Some would say that "if it is in print, it should be in braille". If you feel strongly that information should be included, I would suggest putting a TN on the first page saying Number Corner Check up [TN] 5 total pages [TN]. Or if there is actually a heading on EACH of the 5 pages that this information could be placed with, just include it. If the headings don't repeat on pages 2-5 and the only that that repeats is the page 2 of 5 stuff, I would not interrupt the text to include that. But since there are no rules, my main suggestion is "choose a format and then be consistent".
Cindi
claurentParticipantI have never done this! I've always been told that folding is a no-no 🙂
My suggestion would be to print out a page of full cells and measure for what you need.
Cindi
claurentParticipantIt means the two-letter state name - hope you win the bet! 🙂
Cindi
claurentParticipantIf there are no print page numbers, that portion of the title page information is omitted.
Cindi
claurentParticipantAccording to Braille Formats 14.3.1, Scene numbers are treated as Centered headings. That would mean that Acts would also have to be centered headings.
Cindi
claurentParticipantBF does not directly address this (it is in the plan to do so at some point).
General consensus is that "The End" goes at the end of the print book material not at the end of the last volume of braille supplied. So in your case, "The End" would go at the end of Supplement 2.
I do know of agencies that do this differently and place "The End" at the last volume of braille supplied to the reader - so if the front and back matter are done first, "The End" would go at the end of the last "regular" volume...but again, BF doesn't address it.
Cindi
claurentParticipantI like the second option better. You could also make it part of the sentence... put the words "make a drawing to show" on the same line as the 4 in the division problem (blank lines would, of course be required before and after this part of the sentence). You could, I think continue on the same like with at least part of the next sentence. In essence, you put the spatial thing right within a line of braille.
Sorry for the delay in answering - I was asking others' opinions.
Cindi
claurentParticipantI guess I should also say - either way you need to remember that both codes have rules about representing a problem like this (which is that it is presented horizontally) - if you change those rules, you change the way the student will "normally" see problems like this. If the lesson is about long division, surely there will be other problems that actually show the "long division" version of problems - and showing how to solve them ...without seeing the whole page - or at least more - it's hard to answer this.
Cindi
claurentParticipantAre you doing this in UEB technical or Nemeth?
Cindi
claurentParticipantI did this book! I'm attaching a screenshot of the first page of my contents... These are so complicated! I combined print pages because the contents goes across the two pages.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Cindi
claurentParticipantYes. You are correct. I thought that is what I said before but I must not be saying things well either! 🙂
Cindi
claurentParticipantWhen the same symbol has two meanings within a volume, the symbol should be listed twice on the Special Symbols page - once for each meaning. They should NOT be combined.
Cindi
claurentParticipantUnless it's part of a spelling list, words divided into syllables can use contractions. This is an exercise, not a spelling list. Contractions may be used. See Section 20 of BF where words are divided into syllables and contractions are used.
