The recommendation of the BANA Formats committee is that the alphabetic page number be on the first line of the first braille page that includes the full title, on the same line as the numeric page number. The full title will begin on line 2. There is no blank line between the alphabetic page number and the centered title.
Hi!
Joanna here. I did see this in the math forum. Happy to help if I can. I do need some additional information and I really would like to see this print page. Can you scan it and attach it?
Is this math test otherwise in English? If so, do you know the purpose of this information in Spanish? Is this list of formulas also provided in English? It is quite common now to have translated glosssaries and other resource material usually found at the back of general subject textbooks (science, math, history, etc.) in what are otherwise English textbooks. I wonder if this list of formula is somethng similar–a resource in English material that is translated into Spanish.
This information in additional to seeing the actual page will enable me to give specific suggestions.

I knew about the tn and ss requirements.
Seems a bit extreme for one-page, I know, but I’d like to know if the Spanish accented letters can be employed in a Nemeth transcription.
Thanks for forwarding to the foreign-language folks.
If you do this page as a Spanish page, it will require a tn to that effect, plus a special symbols list of the accented letters. It would help to know if the page is intended for a Spanish reader in print. I will send this question on to the foreign language forum if that’s okay with you.
Rather than divide the number line (which you could do), have you tried changing the number line from horizontal to vertical? The box plot that is closest to the number line in the original format should also be closest to the number line in the vertical format.
Yes you would use dots 5, 25 for the column separation line. That would make your column two cells wide even though the items in the column are only 1 cell wide.
Hopefully the Graphics section is giving you an excellent answer. You must show the shaded areas and it matters that some of the graph lines are dashed as opposed to solid. You must be able to distinguish the grid lines behind the shading. Use two different kinds of shading for the pink and blue and also different textures of line. I’m sorry I am not being very specific.
I have attached a couple of .jpeg examples from an answer section of a textbook. Note that since these are transformations, the original placement was done as a solid line, the the translations were both done in a dashed line. You may not be dealing with different colours in your examples.
If this is not what type of example you needed, please attach a .jpeg or scanned immage and I will be better able to assist you.
I also dropped a print image on the same page, so you could see both the print and braille. Hope you find this helpful.Betty
Oh! I’m glad that you caught this and posted your comment Julie! I was working on my tiny laptop at home last night and couldn’t see the other colours in the attachment. When I opened it again just now on my 21″ monitor at work the attachment was so much clearer!!
It sounds as though you have come up with a solution — just make sure that the shading doesn’t “over-power” the rest of the tactile.Betty
I think you will need to show the pink and blue areas too. They are showing the two inequalities individually and the purple area is showing the solution. I usually use diagonal stripped textures for this kind of diagrams: use one direction (e.g. “///”) for one inequality and the other direction (e.g. “\\\”) for the second one, and use mesh texture (“xxx”) for the intersection.
Oh, this is interesting information, thanks. So you wouldn’t show the “just pink” or “just blue” areas at all? Only the area that shows both? Yes, I’ll check with Dorothy, too; I wasn’t sure which section to post to, but it makes sense to do both.
Julie
I’m sorry that I missed your question earlier. I will post a couple of examples tomorrow from my office, since I know that I have some examples already completed there. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Julie
I’m replying to your question from home, and don’t have all of my usual resources for checking. I’ll attach a .pdf example of questions 47 and 48 to show how I would most likely show these graphs. I would extend all of the arrowheads outside of the graphing area (since they extend to iinfinity anyway), so that the reader can easily discern the difference and they are not confused with the grid lines. Does it say elsewhere in the text what the significance is of colour for each of the 2 arrows? I would use a dashed line for the grid — it should be the least significant part of the graph. I would make the x- and y-axis a lesser line strength then the coloured arrows. I would also use different arrowheads than the axis arrows — again to assist in distinguishing them. I would use a very light pin prick to show the intersecting shaded area. I suggest that you also check with Dorothy under the Math section of the forum.
Hope this makes sense and that you find these are helpful!
