The program, called xml2brl, accepts both xml and plain-text files and produces "brf" files suitable for printing directly on a braille embosser or for reading on a braille display. It handles a wide variety of xml files, including those exported from Microsoft Word as xml. At present, it runs only on Linux, but a Windows port is planned. It is Open Source and free software.
