Re: getting started with Liblouis

Hi, Didier.  Thanks for that information.  Yes, that seems to be what I need, if possible along with antiword and a couple of items the README mentions that I forget.  If those other items are more than you want to put in Slint, then I presume I'll get them by way of the other README information.

Hi Al,

It appears that liblouis xml ins maintained for Debian by Samuel Thibault so
Debian based distributions get it too.

I will build a Slint package for Slint using the same source files if you need that.

But please look first at this README:
https://salsa.debian.org/a11y-team/liblouisxml/-/blob/master/README

and confirm or infirm that it is what you are looking for.

Cheers,
Didier

Thanks, Jeff.  I'm using Slint.  I didn't see either of the programs you
mention.  Maybe there's something else.


Best!

I'm trying to find out how to use Liblouis to translate documents from print
to Braille.  Specifically, my wife would like me to find out how to translate
Russian documents into Braille ones.  At the moment, though, I haven't yet
learned a command to run for translating anything:  the Liblouis
documentation looks to have a lot of useful material, but I could find
nothing about running a command, with whatever arguments and options I might
need, to create a Braille output file from a print input file.
In Debian, I see liblouis-bin and liblouisxml-bin packages which can probably
help you.  Other distributions probably have something similar.

I read about a command called file2brl, apparently part of a program called
Liblouisutdml, but that program's not on my system even though Liblouis
itself is.
Apparently, UTDML is unified tactile document markup language, whcih is
presumably used for maps, diagrams, etc.  This is probably not what you need.

HTH,
Geoff.
