I polled the committee and we all agree that everything should be on page 26, combine 27 with 28. Do a transcriber's note to let the reader know that the timeline is across the bottom of the two pages.
Combined page numbers are only used when ALL of the information is across both pages.
Thanks for a great question!
CindiNo - that exception to the passage rule ONLY applies to two words within one shape. For two highlighted words, you should use the transcriber-defined word indicator.
CindiI've done a .brf file with a suggestion...keep in mind that I did not do everything involved and I won't be offended at all if you don't like my suggestions (I did poll the committee and got some response there as well - I have a great committee, they answered very quickly!)
We recommend you do the bar graph as a bar graph (if you change the orientation [do it horizontally] I think it will fit across a page.
Some of this was hard to see without the color (which I hope YOU have!)

This should be posted in the Formats section of Expert 🙂
It applies only if text is interrupted...not if it occurs at the end of a section of text.

Donna - this would be better posted in the Formats section...and the attachment is too big. Would it be possible for you to just send the page(s) you have questions about?
Again, please post Formats questions in the Braille Formats section.
Thanks!
Cindi
Thank you for sending an attachment.
While it is technically correct that 6 cells means from the margin of the page, I think it will make reading the document easier if you make sure to leave two cells in front of the page number...the rules says "AT LEAST six cells..." However, if you stick to the letter of the law...six cells is all that is required.

Because the directions apply to BOTH boxes (and not just the one that follows the directions, the blank line is required.

I am on vacation at the moment and cannot look up the "older" files (or even download what is on the BANA website) but in the latest version of BF 2016, there is no blank line between the table heading/caption and the beginning blank line in Sample 11-1 (which is referred to in 11.2.8). If there is another sample/example you are referring to, please let me know ... and I will look at the older files when I return home late this weekend.

The braille did not come through as braille...but I will try to answer your questions.
1. I think that is a transcriber's decision. If it is a short list, I would recommend keeping it on one page, but otherwise, lists can be split between braille pages.
2. No, there is no need to bring the cell 1 entry to the next page to keep it with its sub-entries.
3. I can't read the ascii and the format was not retained.
4. Yes, I think...again, it's hard to decipher the examples.
5. I can't read the braille and I don't think the format was retained.
Could you send the examples as an attachment?
The bottom line is, yes, lists can be split between braille pages. You cannot have one line of a list on the first page, but if the first entry of the list is more than one line, it COULD be split between braille pages. I would probably bring it all to the next page though.
Cindi
The braille did not come through. Would you be able to send it as an attachment rather than trying to embed it here?
Cindi
Your braille examples did not come through as braille...but if I understand your question correctly, lines without page numbers end six cells from the right margin of the braille page - so there should be no text past cell 34.

Based on the print title page (inside the book) and then adding in the additional information on the cover, I would suggest:
GEORGIA EXPERIENCE
5th Grade Student Workbook
Social Studies
HISTORY ....
From the title and copyright pages it is clear to me that the title is the first three lines (as those pages do not even mention the Social Studies information).
I would leave off the information about the Performance Standards.
