Typeforms

Typeforms can usually be managed via DBT’s Word Importer UEB Typeform Mappings options. However, sometimes it might be difficult to use typeform mappings if they need to be applied to character styles. In this situation, codes can be used to control italics, bold, underline, script, and the transcriber-defined typeform indicators (items 1st-5th).
