>The 2016 revision of Braille Formats: Principles 
>of Print-to-Braille Transcription aligns 
>BANA’s braille formatting guidelines with 
>Unified English Braille (UEB). Earlier this 
>year, BANA posted a pre-publication version and 
>offered an open comment period for users to 
>provide input. BANA has incorporated this 
>feedback and now provides this final publication 
>on the BANA website. We have also posted a 
>change log that lists critical changes made to 
>the Pre-Publication version. Links are provided below.
>
>Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to-Braille 
>Transcription, 2016 is available in three 
>accessible electronic versions: BRF, enhanced 
>PDF, and online HTML. Hard copy print and 
>braille will be available at a later date from 
>the American Printing House for the Blind (APH).
>
>BANA is grateful to its Braille Formats 
>Committee for their diligent work in revising 
>BANA’s formatting guidelines to align with 
>UEB. We especially thank Cindi Laurent, Formats 
>Committee Chair, and Clovernook’s Saul Garza, 
>Board Liaison to the Formats Committee, for 
>their expertise in braille transcription, which 
>made this revision possible, and for their tenacity in creating the BRF files.
>
>We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to BANA 
>Publications Committee members Susan 
>Christensen, Sandy Smith, and Ruth Rozen for 
>their immense skill and tireless work in 
>creating the PDF and HTML versions of Braille 
>Formats, 2016, and for assuring accessibility of its content.
