Should this be cellType 6? I don't think there's a 8-dot UEB code. I think we also need to specify contracted or uncontracted.

Ugh, yes, I copied the tag and wasn't thinking about the value!
The code value is also technically invalid since the text isn't formatted to any code at this point. I was just making sure all the required metadata was present.

Actually I did see some 8-dot cells, e.g. in ⠄⡳⠭⠆⠴⠆⠆⠄: this is a Liblouis thing, it's not UEB. It is a kind of escape sequence that was inserted for a character that was unknown to Liblouis.

(in this case it was the character "•" (U+2022))

@mattgarrish What do you mean by "text isn't formatted to any code"?

Did we say we want to translated the alt attributes?
By the way, how did you produce the braille? If you used DAISY Pipeline, I could do a quick fix to also handle the necessary attributes.

I don't remember how the braille was produced anymore. Too long ago and I didn't create the sample. I just grabbed the braille rendition of the epub here: https://github.com/IDPF/epub3-samples/tree/main/30/WCAG
I didn't make any changes to the content of the publication, so I'm sure there are all kinds of other issues. I figure we can clean that up later, as it'll need someone familiar with UEB to do it right.

Yes that seems like something that came from Pipeline.
Is it OK that if I discover issues like alt attribute one, I make a note here so we don't forget to fix it later?

This is not any helpful comment, just an expression of gratitude - this seems already very concrete thing. Again, very exciting step in my view. I believe the appearance on a braille display will be up to the program used for viewing ebrl files in the future. |

I just pushed some cleanup of the markup to make the files a little more readable. I took out all the epub:type and class attributes, reformatted line lengths, added the page numbers, and other small stuff like that. I linked the css file but stripped it of all its styles as I don't think most of that file even applies to this sample (it's for the whole textbook and we only have 15 pages or so). It'll be better to build it up with the styles we need than try to work from everything that was in it. |

Great! |
This converts the world cultures and geography textbook in the old IDPF samples project to an ebraille publication - at least as best I can do without a validator to double-check everything.
I haven't tried to update the content to match the braille best practices for markup and css, so this is only about the core requirements of the format.
I'm adding the fileset and a packaged ebraille publication in separate folders.
