Codes used: [ifbrl] or [ifprt] (Old codes [sibrl] [siimp])
There are often cases where it is necessary to change the wording between print and braille documents.
For example, print text might say:
This book is available in braille.
Where the braille text should say:
This book is available in print.
With DBT working in Coded View, your print document looks like this:
This book is available in [ifprt]braille. [ifbrl]print.
If you turn Coded View off, your screen shows only:
This book is available in braille.
When you translate to braille, your braille document looks like this:
,? book is availa# 9 pr9t4
(This book is available in print.)
The ifprt and ifbrl codes can be used to control the use of other DBT codes in addition to controlling text. For example [ifbrl][sk5] would skip 5 lines ONLY in the braille file.
Note that the [if...] code only affects the very next word or code. If you wish to use multiple codes, you must precede each one with the [if...] code.
However you can group text using the [:] and [;] codes as explained in the Group Topic.
