7.4.1.1 Paragraph.
This is the initial style for a new document style. While paragraphs in Braille might start on a new
line indented by two spaces, paragraphs in a text document might have no indentation, and be
separated by a blank line. While this is the formatting convention for paragraphs, the options
described in 15.19.8 Reviewing and Setting Back Translation Options, allow you to change it to suit
your needs. The paragraph style indicator is $sp.
7.4.1.2 Heading.
Regardless of how a heading is formatted in Braille, in ink-print a blank line is placed both above
and below the heading and it is centered and in bold font. If a heading takes up more than one line,
each subsequent line is also centered and in bold font. A blank line in Braille produces a blank line
in ink-print. The heading style continues until another style indicator changes it, or two or more
blank lines are encountered. In the latter case the style reverts to "Paragraph.” Once again, this is
the suggested formatting convention for headings. It can be changed by altering the options
described in 15.19.8 Reviewing and Setting Back Translation Options. The heading style indicator
is dollar sign h.
7.4.1.3 Sub-heading.
In print format, a blank line is left before and after a sub-heading. The sub-heading is bold, and
starts at the left margin. Sub-headings can take up more than one line, but the first blank line returns
the style to "Paragraph.”
7.4.1.4 Outline.
This style is used where you have numbered paragraphs or an outline. Usually each item starts on a
new line, with subsequent lines belonging to that item being indented. This format is retained in
ink-print, and a blank line is left between items whether or not there is a blank line in Braille.
Another style indicator or two or more blank lines terminates Outline Style, and in the latter case
the style reverts to "Paragraph.”
The outline style indicator is $ou.
