type forms not following print

[OSR Braille Program]

In the Braille Formats, Section 4, sample 4-3: cell 5 heading followed by cell 7 heading The question is about use of a type form in this sample. This is the only place I have seen a sample of the print using a type form and then not on the emphasized words and then right below it is the same words in a type form. The Brailled sample has NO italics on the paragraph and then italics applied to the emphasized words Nocturnal Spectator. The it follows print with the cell 7 heading in print has italics on these words and the braille does too. What is the reasoning for changing it and having not followed print, then followed print and is this common?

Great question!

The text is an epigraph. The guidelines state to omit font attributes unless needed for distinction.

In this situation, it was decided that the words "Nocturnal Spectator" are being emphasized by NOT being in italics.

In braille, we "reverse emphasize" words in this situation.
