Huh. Apparently the formatting got messed up. Each line that talks about "formatting" is supposed to be a numbered list. The one that currently (to me) shows up as number 1 at the end is supposed to be number 4. Sorry about that; not sure what happened. It looked right when I was typing it up. And I can't edit it to make it look cleaner, either. Here is the list again, and hopefully the numbers will show up correctly this time.
- Does the number line always begin in cell 1 or is it dependent on the context/exercise material? For Example, would the number line in the attached problem begin in cell 1 or cell 3 (for the runover)?
- Can a number line be placed in numeric passage mode to reduce the length/keep on the same braille line?
- Is there a required number of horizontal line indicators between an arrow or a crossing vertical line?
- What do we do when a number line requires multiple braille lines? (Example, if we have a -40 to 40 number line where we need to be able to see every tick.) Sometimes we can get it to fit as a graphic, but I've seen a lot of number lines that are too big for a horizontal or a vertical graphic to work.
And an addition to question 1: If the number line is dependent on the runover, can we adjust the starting point to fit a slightly-too-long line on a single braille line? (So, a problem similar to the example might start in cell 1 or 2 instead of having the final item on a second line.)
Edit: The relevant question is actually not in the same section as multiple choice, so I would expect the multi-paragraph question to be in 1-3, 5-3 (instead of 1-5, 7-5). So I'm thinking that maybe the bullet means I change it to 1-5, 3-5 format.
For reference, here's what the publisher submitted to NIMAC. (both covers, versa page, title page, author page.) Not sure why I didn't think to upload this the first time.
When using the 1-5, 3-5 method, can an entry be split across braille pages? Example 1: the definition in 1-5 format starts on page 5, line 23, and ends on page 6 line 1 (no running head). Example 2: the definition ends on page 14 line 24, and the example starts on page 9 line 1.
Also, if this is a cell-5 style heading system, where should I put the pronunciation or noun/verb identifier? At the start of the paragraph with the definition?
Further information: this is NOT the midline asterisk. It is the same print symbol used to indicate a note. (So the comment on Page 31 from "UEB Technical - Algebra and Geometry - Basic" November 20, 2020 does not apply as written.)
Also, this symbol only occurs when used in a teacher's key (showing the answer as the student might write it).
