New features ------------ -- Add support for liblouis 3.20 +- Add support for liblouis 3.27 +- Major upgrade to Nemeth Math handling thanks to Attila Hammer and + Norbert Markus. + + - The order of some character definitions and include statements + have been changed so that the now updated Nemeth Braille dot + patterns of mathematical symbols take precedence over the literary + Braille patterns for the same Unicode characters. E.g. the + horizontal ellipsis, and division sign are among those affected. + - Now the caret symbol appears with its intended Nemeth Braille dot + pattern. + - The colon and semicolon as mathematical symbols appear with a + punctuation prefix (dots 456-25 and dots 456-23) and a space is + added after them. The space may be skipped depending on the + context. + - A number of rules have been disabled to give way to the now + updated Nemeth Braille dot patterns of mathematical symbols in + ``nemethdefs.cti``. + - The list of function names and abbreviations has been extended + with items (e.g. two-letter abbreviations of function names and + their combinations). + - Indication of subscripts and superscripts has been improved and + consolidated. E.g., numeric subscripts are now either indicated or + not indicated by a subscript prefix as required. However, + multilevel subscripts and superscripts are not (yet) covered as it + requires keeping track of the current level. + - A number sign is inserted before the first digit following a dot 5 + or dots 56 (also in combinations with a minus sign) if that prefix + is the first cell in the block or after a space. + - Now a single digit or letter with overbar is handled correctly. + Previously a two-step rule had the side-effect of deleting dot 5 + from dots 5-13-156 even when this sequence appeared as part of + signs of comparison (less than or equal to, etc). Now those signs + of comparison, including those for sets are correctly displayed. + The solution does not yet cover letters of another alphabet or + type form. Such instances are displayed using the uncontracted + five-step Nemeth rule. + - Support for the contracted indication of a horizontal bar under a + single digit or letter is added (dots 146-156 following the digit + or letter) according to a 2013 BANA update to Nemeth Rule XIV. The + solution does not yet cover letters of another alphabet or + typeform. Such instances are displayed using the uncontracted + five-step Nemeth rule. + - Now a Nemeth rule for repeating decimals is observed. When a + series of digits have each a dot above in print to mark a + repeating period, it is sufficient to show a single dot in + Braille. The modification block, however, applies to all the + digits affected. + - The decimal point now appears correctly (dots 46) even when + preceding or following a dot five which indicates the beginning of + a modification. + - A space is inserted between the Braille representation of ``{}`` + for the empty set. + - The space is removed from between a grouping symbol and a + horizontal ellipsis in various combinations. + - The space between a function name/abbreviation and a superscript + belonging to it is removed. In case of a log and colog, a + subscript is expected. Note that the current solution is far from + perfect as processing function names and their surroundings could + better be done by an algorithm. + - Any series of Multiple spaces in the math blocks are reduced to a + single space at that place.
