Exercise material with sub-paragraph and answer choices

[Kathleen E. Talley]

Hello: I am transcribing a book with chapter questions at the end of every chapter. Most of the questions are either just the question (1/3); or a question with answer choices (1/5, 3/5). The question I am asking about (see attached page - question #5) I believe would be formatted:

5. The San Antonio... (1/5)
Chick-fil-A Foundation (indented paragraph - 7/5)
a. (answer choices - 3/5)
b.
c.

Are the above margins correct? I've read through BF Section 10, looked at one of the NBA videos on exercise material, and cannot find an example exactly like this one. If the above is correct - why?? Where do I look in BF? Ditto if the above is incorrect.

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

You are correct that Braille Formats 2016 does not address "succeeding paragraphs."

Most seasoned transcribers prefer the choice you made (7-5).

A succeeding paragraph shares the runover position (cell 5). The indentation then becomes cell 7.

For the 1-3 questions, the paragraphing would be 5-3.

This is a suggestion, not a rule.

Hope this helps!

Yes it does, thank you Chip!
