Home » Braille Formats/Textbook » Unusual page numbering

There are lower case Roman numerals, page numbers that follow TX in a textbook, such as TXxxvi ....

Do I need a termination sign, and a letter indicator?

,,TX,';xxx

When the first page of text is ,,TX,';i-,,TX;vii it takes up seventeen cells. I didn't find this specific type of page numbering covered in the rule book!

Thanks,
Sharon

Are ALL the print pages numbered with this TX as well, as in TX1 TX2? With regard to the sample you sent, could you send an actual braille file or use the braille font that that is built-in to the forum? It looks like you have a second termination after hyphen and I'm not clear on the reason for it.

You're right, this is certainly unusual. If you could respond to the above I would appreciate it. If you could send an actual print page with this numbering, I'd appreciate that too. I do have an idea for this, but I want to be sure I understand the situation. Also, I may want to consult with some other people.

The print pages are number TXi-TXxxx, TX1-96 and 1-200.

,,TX,';i-,,TX,';vii

I did have an idea for this and ran it by Lynnette. She suggested something much better. Use the regular lettered numbering for the Arabic print pages TX1, TX2, etc.
,,tx#a
,,tx#b


For the Roman numbers, capitalize the T and the W separately in braille. Then there is no need for the termination sign, which is clumsy and not really right here.

TXi ,t,x;i
TXvii ,t,x;vii
