Hi Christine,

Compdisplay will put in the continuation signs (last two cells of the line, regardless of word boundaries, punctuation etc).

But Compdisplay doesn't give you the opening & closing computer braille indicators.

So, to get opening & closing signs & the continuation signs, you need to apply both Compdisplay and Compinline.

Note too that they work differently. Compdisplay applies to whatever block the cursor is in. Compinline applies only to text that is highlighted.

I can never keep these two straight without testing them (which I did, but still ...).

Good Morning all,

I am looking for a little help please.

I am formatting a large document which contains over 200 World Wide Web
addresses.

Normally I would use the Compinline  codes to indicate the address in
computer braile and then go back and put any necessary continuation signs
in manually.  .  However, does DBT have a set of codes or style which
inserts the continuation sign of dots 456-12346 automatically at the right
hand end of the first line of the address (when an address overflows to the
second line) or must I enter it automatically.  And, folowing from this, if
I can have this sign entered automatically, does it break the text at a
sensible place eg before a fullstop or slash etc, or does it just put the
sign in the last two cells of the line depending on the line parameter
settings as they currently are.

George, if there is not a code to insert the continuation sign, is there
any chance of getting such in the next release please?

I hope all this makes sense.

Cheers

Christine
