Description

#Due to size and spacing, braille tables cannot always be transcribed using the spatial layout used in print. Options for non-spatial tables are as ##follows:
Linear Tables (BANA)
- Each row begins in cell 1 with runovers in cell 3.
- Delimiters are inserted after each entry: a colon after the first column, a semicolon after subsequent columns.
- There is no delimiter at the end of the row.
- Empty cells are represented by three dot 5s.

Paragraph Tables: (UKAAF)
- Each row begins in cell 3 with runovers in cell 1.
- Delimiters are inserted after each entry: a colon after the first column, a semicolon after subsequent columns.
- There is no delimiter at the end of the row.
- Empty cells are represented by three dot 5s.

Stairstep Tables (BANA)
- The first column of each row begins in cell 1.
- The second column begins on a new line in cell 3, the third column begins on a new line in cell 5 etc.
- No delimiters are used.
- Empty cells are represented by three dot 5s.

Listed Tables (BANA)
- Row headers are blocked in cell 5.
- Each subsequent entry in the row begins in cell 1 with runovers in cell 3 and is preceded by the column header.
- A colon is inserted after the column header as a delimiter.
- Empty cells are represented by three dot 5s.

What CSS could be used to format non-spatial tables in braille?
