Excellent! Thank you Lindy.
I was wondering about the equals sign the way it's being used in this sample. I assume then, I can divide wherever the line naturally falls rather than bringing the equals sign to the next line if it doesn't all fit on one line, correct?
Do you think at some point the powers that be might consider letting us use UEB symbols for those nonmathematical instances? Sure seems like it would be simpler for the reader (and the transcriber).
Thank you again. I really appreciate the help!

Hi Lindy,
I've attached two transcription efforts of a table from this manual that I hope you can critique for me. I have many, many of these so I want to get it right.
Laurie
Excellent. Thank you for the helpful advice. I should be able to make good progress this week. No doubt I will have a couple more questions along the way. 🙂

Hi Lindy,
No screeching halt required. I've gone back and forth and back again trying to come up with a good solution so I'm really not far into the transcription. I am relieved that you confirmed (almost) everything I've been thinking! I also realized that either way, the computer commands would end being uncontracted.
So then, do you still stand by the use of Nemeth code for the IP addresses, subnet masks, and binary representations as discussed in the post entitled "IP addresses" in this forum?
You also pointed to the section in UEBGTM about Hexadecimal numbers so I'm not certain if you are thinking the table I asked about in the post entitled "Networking manual" in this forum should not be done differently than Kyle suggested.
I really appreciate the time you've taken to help me figure this out.
Thank you,
Laurie
Thank you Lindy. Your solution makes sense. The transcriber's note is a good way to make it clear to the reader, so I'm good with that.
Except for the fact that it was requested this way, do you see any good reason why something like this even needs to be in Nemeth Code? It seems to me UEB has everything needed to represent this material. If the reader is proficient in UEB, then what advantage is there in going back and forth between codes? I really want to understand the reasoning behind these requests.
Thanks!
Laurie
Here's a small sample. If the IP addresses, etc. are not Nemeth, would I use the Nemeth punctuation indicator prior to the "dot" in the equation?
Convert the answer back into decimal:
11000000.10101000.01100100.01110000 = 192.168.100.112
The IP address 192.16.100.115 belongs to the 192.168.100.112 network when a mask of 255.255.255.240 is used.
Thank you Kyle. I especially appreciate the reference to the NC rule. (Something I'd long ago forgotten.)
Since the hexadecimal column must be in NC I think I'll try the switches in the box lines method you suggested. Inconvenient pretty much describes what transcribing that middle column will be! Oh boy.

Thank you Rebecca. I too had concerns about trying to use the Antoine Numerical Notation without some guidance. I appreciate your help. 🙂
This is what works for me: Left click (and hold) at the top of the PDF, drag to one side of your screen and release. Do the same with Braille2000 to the other side of your screen. I have a wide-screen monitor so I don't know how that will work on a smaller screen.
Thanks to both of you. I have a better understanding now. (It certainly will be nice when/if we get some official TG guidelines regarding Nemeth within UEB transcriptions.)

Cheri,
I have a Juliet that I'm thinking of selling. If you're interested, e-mail me at braillebud@yahoo.com.
