Ok sounds great then, just disregard the one I wrote with a backslash then.

I write it with a dash between the whole number and the fraction, so it would
be 1-1/2.

What if the fraction was a cup and a half of another how would that be
written again? Just my curiosity!

Hi Pam,
The braille translater, or is it translator, won't handle the fraction
symbols. They need to be written as 1/2, and like that.
Thanks for asking!

Hey all,
I'm coming across a bunch of fractions for recipes in the book that
I'm proofing. For Braille readers, is the 1 / 2 format better than the symbol
1 over 2 in one individual space (sorry I can't make this symbol in e-mail).
Any preference?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Pam
