For DBT users adding spaces around signs of comparison only, there is an option to have these spaces added around signs of comparison as you import a Word or LaTeX file. Adding spaces around only signs of comparison seems to be the most common preference for UEB transcribers, except that those producing material for students in the first few grades may want to add spaces around signs of operation as well.
#SPACE IN MATHTYPE PLUS#
There is an option in UEB to add spaces around signs of comparison, like the equals sign and less than sign, around both signs of comparison and signs of operation like the plus sign, or around neither of these. To apply a style in DBT, highlight the text, press F8, and select the DBT style from the list.
#SPACE IN MATHTYPE CODE#
One such code is the code, which affects usage of grade 1 indicators (see the section "Grade 1 Indicators in UEB Math" below). Any DBT code that affects UEB math translation is effective only within the math style.Inside the math style it becomes the UEB minus sign, dots 5, 36 outside of the math style it is treated like a hyphen. On the print side in DBT, you can use a hyphen as a shortcut inside the math style for entering the minus sign character.During file import, within math, spaces are added to the left of those function names that are preceded by technical notation without a space, as in "xsin theta".Spaces are added around signs of comparison in math expressions if you have that selected in the DBT Global: Import Options.When importing from Word using MathType or importing a LaTeX file, spaces are automatically added only inside passages marked with the math style.Know how and where to break the line in a long math expression that has no spaces.Know the general guidelines for use of the grade 1 indicator in math.If adding spaces around signs of comparison, or around both signs of comparison and signs of operation, use appropriate tools to do this consistently.If it does not, translation of that print symbol displays the UEB shape indicator followed by U+# (where # is the Unicode number for the print symbol), followed by the termination indicator. DBT's UEB translation table includes the UEB braille for most print symbols. Familiarize yourself with the UEB symbols.When Producing UEB Math (Background Information) Similarly, when importing from a LaTeX file, the items in math mode are assigned the math style. When importing from Word document with MathType objects, the MathType objects are automatically assigned the math style. The style math-TextInMath is intended for use within the math style for enclosed non-technical notation. The style math is meant to be applied to technical notation, such as a math expression. In the United Kingdom, use the DBT template called "English (UEB) - UK Formatting". Whichever input method you use to create your mathematical documents in order to produce UEB braille with math, in America it is best to use the DBT template called "English (UEB) - BANA". If the equations are not from Word, there's no way to correct the padding in batch.You are here: Help Contents > Working with Word > Mathematics > Doing UEB Math within UEB Producing UEB Math Code within Unified English Braille "Convert" MathType equations to MathType equations, and it will apply the new padding value.
#SPACE IN MATHTYPE WINDOWS#
If they're in Word, change the value identified above, then with the document open in Word, run the Convert Equations command (on the MathType tab in Word for Windows or the MathType menu in Word 2011). Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/ (change Windows/PicturePadding).Windows: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Design Science\DSMT6\Windows (change PicturePadding).You can change this value (make sure to exit MathType first - including the MathType Server in the SYSTRAY/Notification Area if you're on Windows): Whether they come from Word or not, MathType by default adds 2 pixels of padding to all sides of an equation. The equations are converted on the fly to EPS, but it's InDesign that does it, not MathType. If they're from a Word document, and if you're getting them into InDesign for Windows by placing the entire Word document into InDesign, then Loic.Aigon is mostly correct. You didn't say how you're getting the equations into InDesign, nor even that they're EPSs.
