- favor grade 1 math usage, with more use of grade 1 word or passage indicators.stands for "use transcriber preference." The N is the number 0, 1, or 2. If you do not like some of the choices that DBT makes in this regard, you can influence DBT's decisions with a code.
UEB allows some leeway for when and where to use grade one character, word, and passage indicators in math, with more than one correct usage.
adds spaces around both signs of comparison and signs of operation (common usage for early elementary school students).Ĭlick here for an excerpt from Unified English Braille Guidelines for Technical Material which explain the role of grade one indicators in UEB math. adds spaces around signs of comparison. The default of does not add any spaces. That led us to creating the import option for adding spaces around signs of comparison instead. That code still works, but we no longer recommend it, because it can have unwanted side effects. Previously we recommended use of the DBT code for setting up adding spaces around signs of comparison, or both signs of comparison and signs of operation. We will also look into adding an option like this for adding spaces around signs of operation. For DBT users adding spaces around signs of comparison only, there is an option to have these spaces added around signs of comparison as you import a Word or LaTeX file. Adding spaces around only signs of comparison seems to be the most common preference for UEB transcribers, except that those producing material for students in the first few grades may want to add spaces around signs of operation as well. There is an option in UEB to add spaces around signs of comparison, like the equals sign and less than sign, around both signs of comparison and signs of operation like the plus sign, or around neither of these. To apply a style in DBT, highlight the text, press F8, and select the DBT style from the list. One such code is the code, which affects usage of grade 1 indicators (see the section "Grade 1 Indicators in UEB Math" below). Any DBT code that affects UEB math translation is effective only within the math style. Inside the math style it becomes the UEB minus sign, dots 5, 36 outside of the math style it is treated like a hyphen. On the print side in DBT, you can use a hyphen as a shortcut inside the math style for entering the minus sign character. During file import, within math, spaces are added to the left of those function names that are preceded by technical notation without a space, as in "xsin theta". Spaces are added around signs of comparison in math expressions if you have that selected in the DBT Global: Import Options. When importing from Word using MathType or importing a LaTeX file, spaces are automatically added only inside passages marked with the math style. Know how and where to break the line in a long math expression that has no spaces. Know the general guidelines for use of the grade 1 indicator in math. If adding spaces around signs of comparison, or around both signs of comparison and signs of operation, use appropriate tools to do this consistently. If it does not, translation of that print symbol displays the UEB shape indicator followed by U+# (where # is the Unicode number for the print symbol), followed by the termination indicator. DBT's UEB translation table includes the UEB braille for most print symbols. 
Familiarize yourself with the UEB symbols. When Producing UEB Math (Background Information) 
Similarly, when importing from a LaTeX file, the items in math mode are assigned the math style. When importing from Word document with MathType objects, the MathType objects are automatically assigned the math style. The style math-TextInMath is intended for use within the math style for enclosed non-technical notation. The style math is meant to be applied to technical notation, such as a math expression. In the United Kingdom, use the DBT template called "English (UEB) - UK Formatting". Whichever input method you use to create your mathematical documents in order to produce UEB braille with math, in America it is best to use the DBT template called "English (UEB) - BANA".
