Hi Lisa,

The following is as yet not officially released, but is an
extract from one of the Code Topics I've been working on.

The "Note:" at the end answers your own question.

George.


Roman Number Indicator

Code Used: [svgrn~X]

What does it do:?

It changes the default indicator for Roman numbers, which is
normally dots 5,6 where X would be a semi-colon (;)

Where would it be used?

Only when specifically required.  For example, in some
French documents, dot 6 precedes any Roman Page numbers
where X would be a comma (,).

Usage in Duxbury:

[pv1][pntr][svgrn~,][tls]Table de contents[tle]
Je ne parley francais

Produces in Braille:

         .t^ d 3t<s         'i

.j n p@lz *1c/s

Let us explain!
[pv1] sets the page number to one.  

[pntr] produces Roman page numbers. 

[svgrn~,] results in dots 6 prefixing the Roman Page number.


[tls] and [tle] embrace a Running Header. (Explained in the
next chapter - Page Headers and Footers)

Note:  Should NO prefix/indicator be required, use a
left/opening curly brace in the Code - [svgrn~{]

letter sign.

Hi everyone,

 

I need your response as soon as possible. I am transcribing
a poem that is in 5 part sections with three lines each with
first and second line indented at cell 3 and the third line
flush left at cell 1 and the ronover line in celll 5. I need
a code to command Duxbury not to put letter sign in front of
the roman numeral 5 for example.

 

Thanks,
