web addresses being split strangely over multiple lines using duxbury
Dave Horwood
Hi folks,
Does anyone have this issue and know how to fix it? In some of the documents we produce, web addresses are being split unevenly in Braille, using Duxbury. Sometimes after the first line of the URL, there might only be a few characters or just a single / on the second line, before the web address continues on the following line(s). This is wasting space to the right of the page. The braille always has the dot 5 line split indicator.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
Can you send me (off list) one or two examples where this occurs, please?
Best forewarn you that if I hit a brick wall myself, my main Duxbury contact is at the CSUN exhibition in California, where they are around 7-8 hours behind GMT.
All the best,

Hi Dave!
I have seen similar things here, but when I described it, some claimed I dreamed it!
That’s all I’ll say about it.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I’ve referred this issue to Duxbury, but it may be a few days before it can be addressed. They’ve been at the CSUN exhibition.
All the best,
George

Hi everyone,
This is annoying because I know I have seen it, but am now struggling to reproduce it.
Do you know what version of Duxbury you are using? It’s possible they fixed it fairly recently.
The workaround that works for me is to split the line manually. You will need to use two codes to do this, because the manual line split causes Duxbury to assume that no hyphenation is required.
- [q~"] inserts a dot 5
- [l] inserts a line break
To get that [q] code in particular:
- At the point at which you want to insert the dot 5, press F5 for the codes list.
- Press q to find q.
- Press tab to the parameters, and press shift+2 to insert a quote character, which is the computer braille sign for a dot 5.
- Press enter to insert the code.
Then immediately afterwards insert the [l] code from the F5 list – no parameters required for that one.
Hope that makes sense,
Matthew

Hi!
This is probably historic now, but FWIW, I’m using 12.7.
It is still happening and I have tried with several temploates.

I was able to reproduce the problem and I have reported the problem,
with examples, to Duxbury Systems.
I know this isn't a solution, but hopefully a step in the right
direction.
God bless,
James.

Glad to know I'm not alone.
Think the problem is the template, but then again I have tried several without making any difference!
Frustrating, but stay in touch.
Cheers,
Dave
