[Blindmath] Nemeth Code Questions

[kperry at blinksoft.com]

You can't use a dot 6 because it is a comma in nemeth and it ends a super
script the rule is as follows as I know it:

The influence of the superscript indicator, dots four five, affects every
character following it. Its influence is ended when there is a space, the
baseline indicator, dot five, is used, when another level indicator is used,
when punctuation is used on the baseline, when there is a new braille line
that is followed by a new braille expression or literary text, or when a
punctuation indicator or comma is used.

I can't help with the example because I don't get it either.

I can't help with the space because I don't 

Hi,
I have Nemeth Code questions concerning Rule XIII  § 78.  I am using the
1972 Revision. In my book, this section appears on pages 88-89. My questions
concern Nemeth commas used in superscripts or subscripts.
1. Why cant you use a Dot 6? Why must you use Dots 2-4-6?
2. In examples 2 and 3 on page 89, the first example says there is a space
after the comma and the second says there is no space after the comma, but I
can’t tell the difference. I was wondering if someone could explain the
difference to me.
For those without access to the manual I will try to explain what I am
talking about. Sorry for the confusion.
Example 1:
X with a subscript  of open parenthesis a comma b close parenthesis . 
The comma is not followed by a space in the ink print.
In Braille it is coded as X, subscript indicator, open parenthesis, a, Dots
2-4-6, b, close parenthesis.
Example 2:
X with a subscript of 1 comma 2. 
The comma is followed by a  space in the ink print.
In Braille it is coded as X, subscript indicator, 1, Dots 2-4-6, 2

Thanks!
Sorry again for the confusion.
