    Hi,

    Could someone help me understanding the sample 10-4? Why the displayed poem starts on cell 6? is the question a cell-5 heading? Is this the only option? And why the answer choices starts on cell 2? Thank you for your help!

    Hello Xia,

    Upon looking at sample 10-4, the displayed poem starts in cell 7 preceded by six blank cells. The reason for this margin is because displayed exercise material starts 2 cells to the right of the previous braille line. In this case, even though there is no braille text on the previous line, if there was the text would begin in cell five.

    In the example, the exercise answers start in cell 3 which is the correct format for exercises with subentries.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

     

    Thank you for the clarification! Could you explain why the sentence after the displayed poem is a C-5 block? Thank you!

    The margins for exercises with sub entries is 1-5, 3-5. In this situation,  rather than treating the text following the displayed material as an additional paragraph which would be 7-5. The transcriber considered the text a continuation of the original question which would be 1-5. So the text after the displayed text would be 5-5.
