Punctuation and Blank Lines
The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our Youth Services Librarian and Braille Transcriber, Denise Bean, with the help of our Instructional Materials team. It gives you a taste of braille examples that may be used in worksheets or textbook formatting. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience.
I loved a question I received a few weeks ago: it’s funny how something so common can still make us overthink, especially when it comes to punctuation. I hope you find this answer as helpful as I did.
“Working on a worksheet and all of the punctuation is bolded, but only the punctuation, since it is all the punctuation, do I still need to use the bold symbol indicator before the punctuation?”
Have a fantastic week!
