\section{Braille Alphabets}

The following is list of \TeX\ macros and Braille symbols contained in
{\tt braille.sty}.  The user command \verb+\braille{}+ converts
sequence of tags to Braille symbols.  A tag can be one character which
appears as is, or multi characters which must be enclosed with \{\}.
For each tag, a predefined TeX macro is called to print out the
Braille symbols.  For example, \verb+\braille{a{the}b}+ prints out
Braille symbols for {\em a}, {\em the}, and {\em b}.

As usual, \TeX\ collapses multiple spaces to single space, and ignores
spaces at the end of line, and tabs and newlines everywhere.  This means
that for multi-line paragraph, there must be at least one space after
newline (\verb+\n+).

\begin{center}

\braille{{.`}} & \{.`\} \\	% open single quote (`)
\braille{{'.}} & \{'.\} \\	% close single quote (')
\braille{{percent}} & \{percent\} \\
}
\end{center}

Double quotes are specified by the usual \TeX\ notation of 2
consecutive single quotes (\verb+{``}...{''}+).  Single quotes are
specified by 2 character notation (\verb+{.`}...{'.}+) similar to
actual Braille code.  This is because apostrophe (') and closing
single quote (') are identical in print and in ASCII text.  Also, \%
must be spelled out, because it is an escape character for comment in
\TeX.

Abbreviation \verb+{in}+ cannot touch any other word or punctuation.
And, abbreviations \verb+{be}+, \verb+{enough}+, \verb+{his}+
\verb+{was}+, and \verb+{were}+ cannot touch punctuations.  

Abbreviations \verb+{by}+, \verb+{into}+, and \verb+{to}+ must adjoin
next word without a space.  But, abbreviations \verb+{and}+,
\verb+{for}+, \verb+{of}+, \verb+{the}+, \verb+{with}+, and letter
\verb+{a}+ can join one another if they occur as consecutive words.
