TABLE DESIGNATOR

(The initial translation table for a translation is determined by the selected template, and may be changed using the Document / Translation Tables menu. Using those menus does not involve explicit use of the table designator. However, in cases where it is necessary to switch to a different translation table partway through a file, the designator for the table being switched to is required; see the general description of the [lnb~...] command for further details.)
FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY
The Danish tables support print-to-braille and braille-to-print translation of Danish-language literary text in contracted, partially contracted (grade 1), or uncontracted Danish braille. The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
Working with Hans Rasmussen of the Institute for the Blind and Partially Sighted in Denmark, a partnership facilitated by Techno-Vision Systems Ltd. of Northampton, England, Duxbury Systems began developing these tables in June 2003. The primary source was "Den Danske Punktskrift 1993," with information on later changes to that standard provided by Mr. Rasmussen. "Forkbra," a public-domain Danish braille translation program, was also used to generate sample texts.
