Yay! Thank you very much! I'm not in a great rush on this, so this is
cool indeed!

Hi Al and All,
I have tried to build liblouisxml pulled from git master (Debian source files).
Bad news: build failed on Slint64-14.2.1, some of the components being too old.
Good news: build succeeded on Slackware64-15.0 (building box for the upcoming
slint64-15.0), so a package for Slint64-15.0 is ready.
Unfortunately it can't be used on Slint64-14.2.1 as the programs lbx_devonly
and, more importantly xml2brl can't run because there the glibc version is not
the same as on 15.0
So, please be patient: this stuff (included all dependencies) will be shipped in
Slint 64-15.0.
Thanks to John for liblouisxml and to Samuel to have maintained it during the
last 11 years.
Cheers,
Didier

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.
