Reply To: variables in bold in a math text
If something is in bold in a Nemeth book, it is transcribed in bold (not italics) except for paragraph headings which are italicized according to Braille Formats. Generally, variables are italicized in print, and the italics are omitted on variables in braille. However, if variables are in bold in a math book, that usually means they are vectors, for which the boldface must be maintained. Could you send me a picture of the print you are transcribing?
