Rodney,
The rule would apply here and the boxes would be omitted. The instructions and format assist the student and this is not expendable material.
One scenario in text where material mentions boxes that is maintained in braille is when it refers to a section of text such as a side bar or boxed material within text material that needs to be set apart.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Rodney,
I do not see any attachment. Can you please try to attach again and if needed you can send the attachment to me at cstone@nationalbraille.org.

Thank you Kyle, I am glad you included even when embedded within text in your answer because even though that has not occurred for me yet, that would have been a follow-up question.
Thank you Lindy, I agree with the "Gain" and moving to cell 1 so that there is less divisions.
There are some times when it will fit on one line, such as
y:=7x+2
So to clarify, in this equation, there would only be one space following the equal sign?
Connie
Thank you.
So, what about an arrow? In Nemeth, it begins with the shape indicator, so would it also need to be Nemeth or a tactile? I am sending an example of one along with the boxes. I see arrows in regular text simply meaning next step but could not find an example at the moment of this type.
Clarify for me the spacing for the colon used as "such that". An Introduction to Braille Mathematics Using Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts 6.7.16a states that a space would follow the colon in braille when used as "such that". I have looked to see if there is an update to remove the space following but I cannot find one.
My thought for the colon followed by an equal sign is putting these two symbols together without a space. The attached document shows the explanation from the text. I had wondered about putting the dot 5 between them to show they are horizontally.
I agree with you on the double-struck letters and will check through the book on that idea to see what is the best font to change to.
