Contracted Braille

This language is usually produced in contracted braille. This means that words are not produced in braille on a one-for-one basis: there are abbreviations or contractions in the text. If you have questions about producing correct braille, please contact a member of your local braille authority.

Sometimes, you may want to produce uncontracted braille. This is easy to do with DBT. Be fore translation into braille, go to the top of the document in DBT, and issue the command Alt+1. When you translate into braille, the braille will be uncontracted.

Default Braille Mathematics Code

The default math braille code for this Template is UEB (Unified English Braille)

To use this translator for technical material, the math material needs to be enclosed in the DBT style, math. This markup is added automatically when importing LaTeX files and some other formats.
