I didn't see this second post until after I had answered the first one. I am unfamiliar with this sy;mbol. I thought it might be an IPA symbol, but I don't see it listed there. Does this textbook identify this symbol by name? If so, just use the words to identify it. When ths symbols appears in the text you can use an embedded TN at the location and enclose the name of this symbol in the TN. If you can't find a name for the symbol, simply identify it as an unknown print symbol with an embedded TN.

Sorry! I'm at NBA conference and I've been in meetings all day. I can't help without seeing the entire print page. I have no context for this symbol and I can't tell what it could be in isolation from the material it is printed with.
If it isn't too late, I'll be glad to look at the print page.

I would suggested Section 11.16 Listed Table Format. You will have to adapt the provisions given to allow for the number of levels. The second row heading shown, for instance, would be a very long cell-5 heading under the first column heading Content Descriptions. You can block the bulleted items in cell 7 and then proceed to the second column. The second column could be done as a nested list with the appropriate runovers, since is goes to 3 levels.
Follow the same given the in Formats and be sure to adapt it to the number of levels in this situation. You will not be able to follow the guidelines exactly as given for runovers. That's why these are called guidelines. They are to be adapted to the situation you have.
The only other suggested I could make would be to use facing pages (Sec. 11.13).

Yes. It means just what it says. Don't change anything. This is a change from the old formats rules, which did allow for simple rewording. That's gone. So don't do it!

Use 10.3.3 here. Don't you think that the Ex. 10=3 that follows looks EXACTLY like your first exercise? You have numbered or lettered directions with ADDITIONAL PARAGRAPHS. Note that 10.4.2 covers and exercise with subentries ONLY. There are no additional paragraphs.
Ex. 10-3 covers your first exercise exactly. The directions are 1-5, the answer choices are 3-5 and the additional paragraph (Use adjectives to describe ...) is 7-5.
Your second exercise is more complicated because it has an additional level. However, I think you can apply the same guidelines here. You have an 3 levels, so the runover is in cell 7. Item 4) from ... is in 1-7, although I doubt there would be a runover. The additional paragraph, Look at this.. is 9-7, the numbered items 1. 2. etc. are 3-7. The next additional paragraph is 9-7 and the lettered items A) B) are 5-7.

Follow print. The entire brief table of contents is transcribed as printed with nothing inserted or included in it. The general contents follows, on a new braille page. Only the portion of general contents that pertains to the current volume is transcribed. For subseuqent volumes, see d. The brief table of contents is not repeated in subseuqnet volumes. The portion of the general contents that pertains to the current volume is used for subsequent volumes. The only time the brief contents is transcribed is in its entireity in Vol. 1.

I conferred with Lynnette on this one. She says:
The intent was that just the name would be on the first title page. If you look at 2.4.2a you will see the same example with all the degrees and affiliations for the second title page.

I have to see the print page. You've said you're not sure it's a ditto symbol. I'm not either unless I see it. Please scan and post the print page. Thank you.

I didn't realize that the new format guidelines are available online. I've been waiting for the print edition. Where would I find the online edition? Thanks

It looks strange because it IS strange. It's new and different to me too. But just by luck, I am doing a language arts workbook full of single and double underlines and I'm used to it now. This new attribute thing is great to work with when you get used to it.
--Joanna
Thank you. I had read that and done it that way, but it looked so strange that I wanted to make sure.
Hi Betty,
The horizontal line for the 3 asterisks is an old EBAE format that is no longer valid because EBAE formatting is no longer used. I can't find any specific mention of it in the new guidelines. And here is why they are called guidelines. I would suggest the following.
First, blank line usage for the change of context is the same. If the change of context is at line 24 or line 25, the material resumes on line 2 of the next braille page, or line 3 if there is a running head. If the change of context falls in the middle of the braille page, you have a blank line where it occurs.
I think you could populate the blank line with the three centered asterisks, because that is essentially what the print does. I don't think you would need additional blank lines before and after the asterisks.
