Navajo - Basic Flag of the Navajo Nation

This DBT template is designed to produce material written in the Navajo language.

This is a basic DBT template. Its braille formatting is generic, i.e., it does not adhere to specific formatting standards per BANA or UKAAF, etc. Click here for more information about Basic Templates.

The default math braille code for this template is UEB Math. To use this template (and its translator) for technical material, the math notation must be enclosed in the DBT math style. This markup is added automatically when importing LaTeX files and some other formats.

You can make this template your default selection.

Math Issues

As previously noted, this template uses UEB math.

The rules of UEB Math allow some flexibility with respect to spacing around signs of comparison, like the equals sign, and signs of operation, like the plus or minus signs. Most users of UEB do use spaces around signs of comparison. Signs of operation are usually not spaced, though some braille jurisdictions choose otherwise, as required, to meet the educational needs of their readers. The UEB translator does not automatically add spaces for either situation. However, in Global Settings - Import Options, you will find a checkbox for adding spaces around signs of comparison when importing files with math. This option applies both for importing Word documents with MathType and for importing LaTeX files.

Uncontracted Braille

Braille Contractions: This language is usually produced in uncontracted braille. This means that the letters of each word are rendered into braille on a one-for-one basis.
