I am obviously biased, but personally feel you might be best to follow the
UK/UKAAF system.
UEB rules for English are the same of course, but the formatting side is
much simpler.

Do you have any kind of Braille Authority in your country who set
country-wide standards?
If not, have you made any decision to follow the standards laid down by
another country such as the UK or North America?
Basically these standards fall into two categories, 1) Braille Code Rules,
and 2) Braille Formatting.
In the first case, Grade 1, or uncontracted literary Braille can generally
quite straightforward. However if you begin to introduce Grade 2 or
contracted literary braille you may have to work quite hard to develop an
overall standard and work with Duxbury to ensure it can be developed for
computer translation. Other codes such as Music, Mathematics, science
subjects also need to be taken into consideration.
The second item, braille formatting, can be less of a chore, especially if
you decide to follow another authority's layout. I would suggest you try to
keep things simple. Some authorities seem to go, "way over the top", as we
say.
A start is to consider what is most commonly used to produce original copy,
especially in education, be it Word for Windows or some other editor. In
Europe and North America, the most common is Word, and by using Styles
correctly, Duxbury can import Word files directly, and automatically apply
Braille Styles to Print Styles. A very simple example of this is Word's
"normal" Style which is mapped to DBT's "para." Style. Regardless of how
this Style appears in Word, it will automatically indent each new braille
paragraph by 2 cells, and ignore blank lines between paragraphs.
I hope this gives you some food for thought.

Importance: High
Hello guys,
Is there any document or a guide for the transcribers and proofreaders to
study to produce a high quality and standard Braille document before
embossing into Braille?
