7.4.1.1 Paragraph.
A blank line is placed above and below a heading. Each new print line starts a new Braille line. A
blank line in a heading causes a blank line in Braille. Two or more blank lines in a heading cause
the style to revert to "Paragraph.”
A heading is centered in Braille. A print line can produce more than one Braille line, so a centered
heading could fill the page width. This would destroy the centering effect, so lines longer than 90%
of the page width overflow onto the next line. 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 Forward Translation Options as described in 15.19.9 Reviewing and Setting
Forward Translation Options. The heading style indicator is $h.
7.4.1.2 Sub-heading.
This style starts in Braille with a new line and an indent of 4 spaces. A sub-heading may contain
more than one line, but a single blank line terminates the style and reverts to "Paragraph" style.
The sub-heading style indicator is $h#l.
7.4.1.3 Outline.
This style is used for simple numbered lists or more complex outlines and produces a first line that
starts at the left margin. Blank lines in the text are suppressed in Braille and two or more blank lines
cause the style to revert to "Paragraph.” The outline style indicator is $ou.
7.4.1.4 Lines.
This style is for a series of separate lines all starting at the left margin. Any overflow onto the
following line is indented by 2 spaces. The "Lines" style might be used to format the address at the
top of a letter, for example. Another style indicator, or two or more blank lines causes the style to
revert to "Paragraph.” The line style indicator is $sl.
