Now that I look more carefully, I don't believe these are fractions. There is no numerator/denominator; the statement is divided in print, but you have kept it all together in the numerator. Without a denominator, there can be no fraction. Are they instead arrows in print? Do you have a photocopy of the original that I could see?
In reading the surrounding text, you will notice that the KJ is referred to in the picture caption and it is shown as just a normal J. Are you sure that this symbol is not just an italic version of J?
Diane,
When you say "an actual horizontal fraction line", do you mean a spurred line? I used beginning and ending braille fraction indicators.

You will need to leave a blank line between the paragraph material and the "listed" items (the steps) that follow.
An ELI is not required on either of the letters involved in the step numbered statements (aS. or aR.)
I asked for some assistance with this question and received suggestions from different people with the same solution. As [braille]`0means parts per 100, [braille]`00 would mean parts per thousand. If this symbol is defined in the text where it is used, a transcriber's note would not be necessary. But the symbol would have to be listed on the special symbols page because it is not a symbol of the Nemeth Code.
Hi. One way to do this is to repeat the line that has a number above it with the number in the expression, instead of trying to show the meaning by actually putting the number above the expression. This number is showing the result of the operation discussed in the text.
2 + (3 x 2) = 3 + 5
2 + (6) = 3 + 5
[braille]#2+(3`*2) .k #3+5
[braille] #2+(6) .k #3+5X = 3 Y = 4
X + Y = Z
3 + 4 = 7
[braille],X+,y .k ,z
[braille]#3+4 .k #7I have asked someone who knows more about chemistry than I do to look at your question. As far as order of lines, I often move things like you did to avoid them getting lost. I don't believe a tn is required.
Yes. We are limited in Nemeth as far as font attributes go. Your solution works as long as there are no other boldface words in your book.
A table is an okay way to handle a Punnett square. I usually spur the lines and present the material in a box as in print. But it is also acceptable to create the square with braille dot lines, which according to my source is more representative of what is in print than a table is. (A table would require a tn explaining that the material in the square is being shown in a table.) I have attached an example of a suggested way to do this (if you are trying to avoid having to spur lines). The table version is just thrown in for comparison. Dorothy
I discussed this with a member of the Tactile Graphics committee. TG guidelines cover the use or non-use of the numeric indicator in graphs. The consensus: if you can tell from context that it is a coordinate plane, but only quadrant I, the number signs should be left off. If it appears to be a line graph or bar graph, number signs are needed. Since this one is named as a coordinate plane, the numeric indicator is not required.
