Hello Susan:
Pleas do not think that I was knocking how you write your e-mails. I
was just curious as to how some of your messages came to me in such an
odd format.
Your reply to my message was perfectly readable in my e-mail's view
window.
Now back to the subject of this message thread.
In my experience, when the code [lea] followed by the print reference
page number appears in the middle of a line of text within list or
outline styles, even if you include a space before the code and one
following the page number, DBT assumes that the text following the
page number is a new item in the list or outline and not the
continuation of the text that proceeded the [lea] code. In other
words, DBT behaves as if 2 hard returns had been inserted into the
text, even though, no hard returns are actually inserted.
This is not noticeable when [lea] codes are used if block or standard
paragraph styles are in use because the run over lines that proceeded
and follow the print reference page number all wrap to cell 1 on each
line. So, therefore, it is of no visible concern to the format of the
final braille document.
Now, for my solution for situations where print reference page numbers
appear in list or outline styles or where some people use the [ptys]
(start poetry code) and ptye] (end poetry code) to surround text they
want indented. Place the cursor on the first character of the word
that follows the print reference page number that appears in the
middle of a line of text. If there is not a space separating the
print reference page number and the text unit following it, press the
<SPACEBAR> to insert one. If you are at level 1, type the following
code:
[tas3_]
This code will indent the text to cell 3 and make it appear as if the
runover had occurred naturally and there had been no interruption to
the text at all.
Increase the number value by 2 for each level that you are using, e.g.
[tas5_] for level 2, [tas7] for level 3 and so on.
There are times when you come across a paragraph of text within a list
or outline.
If your list or outline style is set to level 1, set the number value
in the [tasn_] code to 5. This will indent the first line of the text
to cell 5 and the runovers will wrap to cell 3, as they should.
Increase the number value by 2 for each level that you are using, e.g.
[tas7_] for level 2, [tas9_] for level 3 and so on. The runover lines
will wrap to cells 5 and 7 respectively, as they should.
I hope that the above information helps at least one person solve this
problem.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
