First a general note: The Braille you can create with LaTeX is not a professiona
|
||
|
|
l one! Professional Braille can be 6 or 8\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
|
|
dot, while LaTeX only supports
|
||
|
|
only 6\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
|
||
|
|
dot Braille without accented characters.

To write Braille with LyX, load the module
|
||
|
|
\family sans
|
||
|
|
Braille
|
||
|
|
\family default
|
||
|
|
in the document settings under
|

|
|
\family sans
|
||
|
|
Document\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
|
Class
|
||
|
|
\family default
|
||
|
|
.
|
||
|
|
Now select the environment
|
||
|
|
\family sans
|
||
|
|
Braille\InsetSpace ~
|

or

|
Braille\InsetSpace ~
|
||
|
|
(textsize)
|
||
|
|
\family default
|
||
|
|
from the end of LyX's environment selection box and write your text.
|
||
|
|
The other Braille environments are only turn on/off some properties as
|
||
|
|
described below; keep them empty!

You can see that LaTeX is not able to hyphenate words written in Braille.
|

You have to do this manually.

Computer Braille that uses 8 dots can be turned on with the command

But the two extra dots are only used when they are accessed with the command
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
\series bold

\backslash
|
