[BlindRUG] Is there any way to use LibLouis in R?

[Godfrey, Jonathan]

Hello

I'm sure the use of grade 2 braille is possible but I would have my doubts about any math code being handled without some serious work to work out which representation of math would be used as the medium for transfer. R doesn't handle latex for example all that well.

So, for regular text I would say yes, but for anything heading towards symbols etc. I suspect the answer is no.

If anyone wanted to have a go, I'd offer ideas but I suspect I'll have little to offer.

Jonathan

Hi there,
 Changing regular print font into braille font does not always give satisfying results: you cannot use grade 2 nor Nemeth braille.
  To make better graphic output in braille, I came to think of applying LibLouis<http://liblouis.org/> to R.
  Please share your thoughts about the possibility.
  Many thanks.
