[Dtb-talk] A question about preferred book formatting

[Jim Barbour]

I like having tape sides in the markup.

I can say that I've used the NLS feature where they mark tape sides as
"phrase" daisy markup.  I miss not being able to do this any longer
with the victor stream (Humanware introduced a feature that makes this
use of the "prhase" markup unworkable.

Ao, I'd suggest putting it in, and maybe just use level 1 for tape
sides.

While understanding that navigation by chapter, most of these being fiction works, is the preferred method for doing it this is not always an option as it would require us listening to the whole book to find the chapters in many cases.
