Kathy has been asked to create a Braille version of her elementary algebra book. As I understood the pretext Guide, I should ask here for assistance.

Appendix H of the Guide gives instructions for installing Liblouis, but I'll be working on a Windows machine, and the instructions might not be appropriate for me. The Liblouis site has downloads specifically for Windows, but I don't even know what to do with the downloaded zip files.

I'm guessing that I'll eventually be entering some pretext command with appropriate options. We believe we should produce a file appropriate for a Braille printer.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about installing liblouis on a windows machine, but I've done a braille conversion before and could probably convert Kathy's book fairly easily.  Is this a capability you want to develop for yourself or are you just wanting the finished Braille product?
