[BlindMath] Nemeth/braille math

[Bert Van Landeghem]

Thank you all for your useful responses. I replied to these separately
sometimes with follow-up questions but noticed that they were only sent to
the original sender and not to the list. But if any of you plan to provide
further information that might be useful to a broader group then please add
back in the mailing list address.

Kind regards,
Bert
