Here are links to the rule about underlining column headings from BANA's
Braille Formats:
http://www.brl.org/formats/rule04.html#r4-5
http://www.brl.org/formats/rule08.html#r8-6
Note in particular that the separation line is to be used whether or not it
is shown in print.
You should know that having braille copy that is correctly formatted
according to BANA rules is only of indirect help in determining how to
format print documents according to the standards of a particular office or
other organization. As I assumed the users of this list were aware, the
intent of the BANA rules is to format the same items consistently in all
braille documents, not to format them however they happen to be formatted in
a particular print source.
Print does not have universal formatting standards. If you are a braille
reader tasked with formatting print documents according to the style
requirements of a particular organization, you need a technical solution
such as a stylesheet.
I completely agree that this list is not the place to debate what we think
of BANA rules or the rules of other Braille Authorities. If you care about
these issues, you should contact the authorities, attend their meetings,
etc.
Sincerely,
SusanJ
