    I have a question about the use of the symbol typeform indicator. The exampls is a bold phrase something like this:

     

    Person 1:

     

    where everything is bold, including the colon. Should it be formatted

     

    ^1,p]son ^1#a3 to show the colon is bolded or

     

    ^1,p]son ^2#a3 because the punctuation is incidental?

     

    I am also attaching the file with the information above.

    Hi,

    Include the colon in the bold. It's messy not to, clutter that isn't needed. See UEB 9.7.2 and 9.7.3 about generally including (non-paired) closing and incidental punctuation within the typeform indicators.

    Braille on,

    Julie
