You do need a numeric indicator after a dash. See Rule II, sec 9b: A numeric indicator must be used after a punctuation mark. Example (2) shows the numeric indicator after a dash.
My answer is not too far off from braillepro's answer. You can use a listed table format (Braille Formats Guidelines). A transcriber's note explaining the format is not necessary. I didn't include drawings in my suggestion, and probably the space I left is not sufficient for the tactiles, but the format is what we are discussing. Hope this works for you.
Since abbreviations are literary, follow literary rules for transcribing them. You need to terminate the double caps for LCM and CD (also need a letter indicator on the short form CD) and you would do that with the literary termination symbol (dots 6, 3). List this symbol on the special symbols page if required by the literary code.
I admit I don't know chemistry (the science, not the code). So I can't determine what would be the best way to present this. I'm not sure that the tiny 2 above the 6 in the second equation is actually a replacement. The 6 is cancelled in 2 places which then wouldn't require a replacement. Also, the symbol before the H is a Greek cap delta. I will see if I can find someone to make sense of this.
Good Morning
It seems to me that the purple wording goes with the box (and sometimes with a picture) on that page (and other pages). They are not vocabulary words... the yellow words coincide with the glossary. I think that the purple words may mean something... do you agree?Are these purple words previously introduced vocabulary words? Are they words that appear in the glossary? Or is the purple just showing emphasis? If there is a special significance to the purple, you will need to devise something to represent this (like angle brackets). Otherwise, I would suggest just using literary italics.
Print does not have a standard layout for carried numbers in a division arrangement. When carried numbers are shown, regardless of print placement it is suggested that the transcriber arrange the carried numbers below the carried number indicator and to the left of the dividend digits to which they apply. A transcriber’s note describing both the print and braille formats must be included.
This is in the original errata for the subject. I have enclosed an example of what that would look like. I have also included a way suggested after the errata came out. There is no right or wrong to this exercise because it is not covered in the Nemeth Code. The second way inserts 2 blank cells between each digit in the dividend with the decimal point immediately following the number, where it would leave 1 blank cell to accommodate the carried number. No carried number line is inserted in order to keep the related carried numbers close to the digit to which they apply. Either way would require an explanatory tn.I am checking with someone with knowledge of Chemistry Code. My opinion is that it would be better to put a note at the location, in addition to the TN page explanation. Otherwise it might be difficult to recognize exactly where the Chemistry Code is being applied. Wait for further comment on the question. Dorothy
If an equation not requiring special margins is runover only at a comparison sign, or even more than one comparison sign, you do not have to run it over at every comparison sign. This is only required if the equation is also runover at some other point besides the comparison signs -- like at an operation sign.
Without seeing your print, I would say the zero with the horizontal line is a Greek theta. We often come across this calculator keystroke and I've always seen it as a theta.
If there is no measuring involved, you can make the rhombus big enough to accommodate the labels. I often put a tn before my drawing saying that angle measures are in degrees so that I can leave out the degree sign. This makes the angle labels short enough to fit in the enlarged rhombus.
I got some advice about your questions.
QUESTION 2:
Omit the gridsQUESTION 3:
The narrative calls this a list -- or are they the reaction boxes? Either way, I don't think the blue boxed items have any kind of column/row relationship. I would present them each individually on a new line.QUESTION 4:
I would use "unlabeled vertices" for these gray dots.I am attaching a file with this two different ways, without baseline indicator and with. Thank you for your help.
