Yes, you are correct. According to the note in 3.15.1 which says
Note: The foot may be shown in print by an apostrophe and the inch by a nondirectional double quote. This can be followed in braille.
Most of the time the inch sign and the prime sign are the same.

8.3.4 Lists Starting at the Top of Braille Pages
a. A list can start on line 1 when a running head is not used, if there are two or more blank lines at the bottom of the previous page. Start the list on line 2 when braille is on the last, or next-to-last line of the previous page.
b. A list starts on line 3 when a running head is used.
The guidelines specify in this section that a list starts on line 3 when a running head is used.

According to the Rules of UEB, you would not need a grade 1 indicator in avii as none of these letters is standing alone. Context would tell the reader what the meaning is.
As for print page numbers, the same is true...no grade 1 indicator is required on vii (but it would be on v).

Yes, that is an error in the workshop. The apostrophe does not terminate the effect of the capital passage indicator and should have been used on NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION.
Good catch! I will let Dorothy know.

Much discussion has gone into this 🙂
Attached is one of the suggestions. It uses the crossword puzzle concept and puts some of the numbers in the lower cell and some in the upper (to represent the upper and lower numbers in the puzzle). No number signs are used so that the puzzle fits across one page.
Another suggestion would be to draw the basic structure (as a tactile) and then do the modifed version shown in the attached braille file.
We all agreed this is pretty ugly - even in print!

When I said I have been told, I meant by those who wrote the code. The numeric passage indicator should not be used for printing histories or ISBN numbers.

According to Braille Formats 2.9, Dedications are placed on their own page (with no other text) and should begin on line 1 or line 3 (depending on if there is a running head used or not). Your example should be treated as a paragraph 9 (either blocked or 3-1). If it were poetry, all lines would begin in cell 1.

It appears to be a vector. If that is the case (which I cannot tell you for sure without seeing more of the text). Here is what the "experts" (more than one in this case!) say:
<span class="simbraille">;;<,,BD>.9\WRO</span>

Can you please give me more information - and a picture would be best. Is this Nemeth? UEB Math? In what context.
Thanks!
An illustration should be inserted as close as possible to any corresponding discussion in the text. If an appropriate location isn't apparent, place it after the last full paragraph on the page on which it appears. Do not interrupt a sentence for the illustration...or a paragraph, if possible. Pictures could also be inserted at the beginning of the print page if that is the most appropriate (or least disruptive) place.

According to 6.2.1a of Braille Formats 2011, all captions accompanying images are to be included. Each caption is preceded by an identifier (Cartoon, Photograph, etc). The caption uses margins 7-5 and don't required blank lines around them. If a description is required (a description is required if the caption does not adequately explain what the image is), it follows the caption (enclosed in TN indicators and using 7-5 margins). There are specific rules for transcribing cartoons - see 14.10 of Braille Formats.

Now you are into an outline.
According to 8.9.1 you should used the nested list format. Roman Numerals would be at the margin, A, B would be in 3. All runovers in 5. New paragraphs would begin in cell 7. So you would have
(Margin 1-5) I. Discussion of Final Rule
(Margin 7-5) The Federal Independent Living ...
(Margin 7-5) ACL received
(Margin 1-5) II. Impact Analysis
(Margin 3-5) A. Executive Order ...
Page change
(Margin 7-5) Executive order ...
and so on.
