18. The drawback is that if it is important to differ between lower case and upper case letter this can not be done with a letter symbol For example if a word with only capital letters should be contracted but not if the same word is spelled with lower case letters Since the equivalence does not apply to lists this can be performed by defining a list containing the single word in question Example Instead of using the word ABBA in the contraction rules a list and a list rule can be defined list ABBA list ABBA listrule ABBA ABBA list l11 Now the defined identifier ABBA can be used in the contraction rule instead of the text symbol ABBA and no equivalence conversion will be performed Translation Rules The Contraction Rules Inserting Rules and Replacing Rules The WinBraille contraction rules are of two different kinds Inserting rules and replacing rules Inserting rules are used to insert Braille symbols after between or before characters as for example number prefix Replacing rules replace text with the Braille counterpart The contraction rule engine will first browse through the inserting rules and if a matching rule is found that matches the current text in process that insertion rule will be applied The engine will then discontinue with the insertion rules and continue with the replacing rules The first replacing rule that matches the text proper will then be applied and the conversion process terminates A jump
