The Advanced tab of a Braille table

The Advanced tab contains the file name in which the table is stored and other fields for advanced utility.

- Archive file: Path of the file where the table is stored;

- Table type: A dropdown menu from which you can select the category to which the table belongs. If the category Mathematics is selected, a Models tab appears, from which Braille transcription models for mathematics can be organized;

- Show table during printing: If this option is enabled, the table is shown in the Braille print window, allowing it to be used to prepare and print the document;

- Characters: A list of separator characters containing four codes used in the interpretation of numbers and dates. The four codes are: Thousands separator; Decimal separator; Date separator; Time separator. If these characters are not specified, Biblos will use those set in the operating system.

Configuring the separator characters in a Braille table is useful when using a language table different from the one set in the operating system. For example, if you use the Unified English Braille table to print texts written in English on an Italian system, and the English table does not contain the separator characters, floating-point numbers may be interpreted incorrectly. This is because English-speaking countries use a period as a decimal separator, whereas in Italy a comma is used.
