Quotation Marks
In general, quotation marks will appear as they do in current braille, except for the
single closing quotation mark which has been changed as mentioned above.
However, for times when it may be necessary, there will now be a way to
represent the different kinds of quotation marks which appear in print, such as the
directional quotes. Here are examples:
quotation marks, nonspecific, opening and closing
8 0
quotation marks, double, opening and closing
^8 ^0
quotation marks, single, opening and closing
,8 ,0
Spacing
A, and, for, of, the, and with will no longer be joined together. They will be spaced
apart from each other as they are in print. [Note: since the contractions for to,
into, and by have been eliminated, these words are spelled out and spaced as they
are in print. The "in" in into will still be contracted.]

Period, Decimal, Dot, Ellipsis
The period, dot, and decimal will always be shown as dots 256. The ellipsis is
shown as three of these in a row.
