EBU PHARMACEUTICAL BRAILLE
TABLE DESIGNATOR
qqp-ebu
(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 European Braille Union (EBU) Pharmaceutical tables support translation of text to braille according to the specifications of the European Blind Union (EBU) as published in October 2005.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
The earliest support for EBU Pharmaceutical braille was as a special "variant" mode with the English/British tables, in September 2007. A separate table was developed by Duxbury Systems in February 2008, based upon the published sources mentioned above and with technical advice from George Bell of Techno-Vision Systems Ltd. in the U.K.
