Lists

Example 8-2: Simple List

b.  Insert a blank line between a page change indicator and a list. (See Sample 8-1: List After Page Change Indicator on page 8-13.)

c.  Insert a blank line between a list and a page change indicator. (See Sample 8-2: List Before Page Change Indicator on page 8-14.)

d.  When format requires a blank line before and after a page change indicator, retain only the blank line after the page change indicator. (See Sample 8-3: Heading After Page Change Indicator on page 8-15.)

a.  When it follows a cell-5 or cell-7 heading.

Example 8-3: Cell-5 Heading Followed by a Simple List

b.  When it follows a top box line. (See Formats, §7, Boxed Material.)

(See Sample 8-4: Simple Boxed List on page 8-16.)

c.  When it follows directions. (See Formats, §10, Exercise Material.)

Example 8-4: Simple List After Directions

a.  Start the list on line 1 when a running head is not used, if there are two or more blank lines at the bottom of the previous page. Start the list on line 2 when braille is on the last or next-to-last line of the previous page.

b.  Start the list on line 3 when a running head is used.

a.  A list may be divided between braille pages, if necessary.

b.  The first item of a list may begin on the next-to-last line of a page if it will fit on one braille line.

c.  A list may not begin on the last line of a page.

d.  A heading must be followed by at least one complete list item before the list is continued on a new braille page.

a.  Insert a blank line to separate a cell-5 or cell-7 heading from columns. (See Formats, §4, Headings.)

b.  Always begin the first column in cell 1. Leave two blank cells between the end of the longest item in the first column and the left-hand margin of the second column. Do not use guide dots between unrelated columns. (See Formats, §11, Tables and Related Columns.)

c.  Keep a columned list on a single page when possible. (See Sample 8-5: Two-Column List on page 8-17.)

d.  Preserve print alphabetic or numeric order, whether horizontal or vertical. (See Sample 8-6: Two-Column List Changed to Vertical List on page 8-18.)

e.  Change the number of columns if the print layout does not fit. Insert a transcriber's note explaining the change.

f.  Do not rearrange the order of words. (See Sample 8-7: Six Columns Changed to Three Columns on page 8-19.)

g.  When a columned list is too long for a single braille page, list the words in columns and fill the page with as many words as will fit. List the words vertically in alphabetic or numeric order. Continue listing the words in columns on the next braille page. (See Sample 8-8: Long List on Two Braille Pages on page 8-20.)

a.  A centered, cell-5, or cell-7 heading may precede a nested list.

b.  The main entry begins in cell 1. Each subentry level begins two cells to the right of the previous level. All runovers begin two cells to the right of the farthest indented subentry.

One level: 1-3
Two levels: 1-5, 3-5
Three levels: 1-7, 3-7, 5-7
Four levels: 1-9, 3-9, 5-9, 7-9
etc.

(See Sample 8-9: Simple Nested List on page 8-22.)

c.  All items within the section with subentries are treated as a nested list, even if some items do not have a subentry. (See Sample 8-10: Nested List on page 8-23.)

d.  Nested lists are always transcribed in a single column. (See Sample 8-11: Columned Nested List Changed to Vertical List on page 8-24.)

a.  Follow print for the symbol used as a bullet. If the print symbol does not have a corresponding symbol in braille, devise a symbol using a transcriber-defined symbol indicator. (See UEB, §3.26, Transcriber-Defined Symbols.) Examples:

_4      Dot
$#d    Hollow square [will require a grade 1 indicator]
_$#d  Solid square
$=      Hollow circle [will require a grade 1 indicator]
$#c    Triangle [will require a grade 1 indicator]
"%      Checkmark

b.  List all bullet symbols except the primary bullet indicator (dots 456, 256) on the Special Symbols page, or in a transcriber's note before the text.

c.  Transcribe bulleted subentries as a nested list.

a.  Follow print for the symbol used as a bullet. The bullet begins in cell 1 and is followed by a space. Symbols used must be listed in a transcriber's note or placed on the Special Symbols page.

b.  Align the beginning character of all items. Runovers are two cells to the right of the beginning of the items.

Example 8-5a: List with One Bulleted Item

Example 8-5b: List with One Bulleted Item

c.  When multi-column lists have some items bulleted, transcribe them vertically.

Example 8-6: Two Columns Changed to Vertical List

Example 8-7: Decimal Enumeration Skeleton Outline

a.  Center guide text on the last line of every braille page.

b.  Leave at least three blank cells before the outline division entry.

c.  Leave at least three blank cells between the outline division entry and the braille page number.

d.  Leave at least three blank cells after the outline division entry when there is no braille page number, if even page numbers are suppressed for interpoint.

e.  Use the last outline division entry from the previous page(s) followed by "(cont.)" when no new outline entry occurs on the braille page.

Example 8-8: Outline Guide Text

Example 8-9: Decimal Enumerated Outline Guide Text

f.  An agency may choose to indicate outline division guide text only on odd pages in an interpoint transcription. The guide text indicates the last outline division on the right page (odd braille page number).
