Introduction

Louis is a braille translating program for the Apple Macintosh. It is designed to make the production of braille document from a wide range of text, Microsoft Word and XML source files as simple as possible and to permit the user to extend it to translate new XML based information in the future.

Louis uses both liblouis and liblouisxml as the foundation for the translation process. This documentation covers the major settings for Louis. For more complete documentation and the source code for liblouis and liblouisxml programs see http://www.jjb-software.com/

Louis presents the end user with a series of tab views each of which controls some part of the translation process. Sections 1 through 5 of this documentation explains each of these views and the options found in each.

Details concerning using Louis and liblouisxml are covered in sections 6 through 9.
