I would throw my support behind perfecting embossing the Help Topics. I attempted to perform embossing once and couldn't even come up with the "emboss" screen, and finally did get that far, the results were not very usable. It's been so long ago since I had tried this that I can't be very specific. -- Gary Patterson

Hi Caroline, many thanks indeed for bringing this to my attention. The "Emboss Topic" feature is sadly one of these things that many asked for, and yet I believe you are almost the first person to comment on it since 10.5 was released. Consequently, I have to hold my hands up and say that as a result, it has had very little attention since. However, I am reviewing the Help files for the next release, and so will be looking much closer at the formatting side in relation to braille output. The strange text you are seeing is unfortunately some HTML content brought about by a portion of non-standard HTML code, over which we have little or no control. That said, I will review the topic, especially since it is sure to crop up in other topics. Many thanks again, and do keep the comments coming. All the best, George Bell. ________________________________ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Caroline Congdon Sent: 08 August 2005 14:53 To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Embossing Help Topics Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone else has run into this problem. I'm embossing some of the help topics in DBT 10.5 to use for a class I'm doing on the program. I've noticed a couple of things. First, the help topics aren't really formatted. The title is centered, but other than that it's pretty much just straight reading. Is there any chance of fixing that up in a later version? Also, something that just happened to me today. I embossed the topic "Fine Tuning Templates". The first half of the first page is really strange. It says, in part: SPAN.HCP1 left-brace FONT-WEIGHT: bold right-brace P.hcp2 left-brace TEXT-align: center right-brace ... What is this, and does anyone know how it got embossed? It sounds like codes that should have actually been used in the formatting. Thanks for any comments or suggestions. Caroline
