biblatex-gb7714-2015: a biblatex style package
-------------------------------------------------
Maintainer: huzhenzhen <hzzmail(a)163.com>
Homepage: <https://github.com/hushidong/biblatex-gb7714-2015>
The biblatex-gb7714-2015 package provides an implementation
of the GBT7714-2015 bibliography style. This implementation
follows GBT7714-2015 standard and can be used by simply
loading biblatex with the appropriate option:
% for numerical sequence:
`usepackage[backend=biber,style=gb7714-2015]{biblatex}`
% for author year sequence:
`usepackage[backend=biber,style=gb7714-2015ay]{biblatex}`
A demonstration database is provided to show how to format
input for the style.
The biblatex-gb7714-2015 style works with texlive2014,
texlive2015, texlive2016 and so on.
Please see the file 'biblatex-gb7714-2015.pdf' for more information!

Version: 1.0

Summary description: Convert LaTeX source to Braille with math in Nemeth
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After many failed attempts to transcribe real math notes and
books to Braille/Nemeth in order to deal with a real situation
(blind student in Math Dept.) we decided to develop a new program
that follows a direct, from LaTeX to Braille/Nemeth, approach.
Other attempts (such as tex4ht) failed because they all needed
an extra step to go from xml to Braille and this step (say, with
liblouis) produced incomprehensible output (liblouis focuses in
Office apps).
Our main target was the Greek language which is only Braille level 1,
but English at level 1 is also supported. Simple pictures in pstricks
are also supported in order to produce tactile graphics with specialized
equipment.
The README file contains documentation and links to the project
pages. License is GPL3 or newer.
At the moment this is the only project we are aware of that
has published real Math University Notes and Books in Braille.
Check http://myria.math.aegean.gr/labs/dt/braille/index-en.html
Embossing needs LibreOffice and odt2braille so that we do not need
to deal with embossers' drivers.
