Braille 2000, how to get a percent within your document with percent codes

I was working on my show notes dealing with Vice Society. zIt is the next topic on TSB, and I’m quite behind. Suffice it to say, I finished that today. Today’s blog will talk about the percent code issue that I experienced, not necessarily about Vice as a security threat.

Within those notes, I found that there were strings within percent characters like this:

• %phraise%
• %survivor%
• %string goes here%

Within the article, it has over 100 of these that are listed that the malware presented can use. Here are some of these to show you the real values. Note that the article will be linked within our show notes and is linked in an announcement shown earlier on the blog.

• • %Agent%
• %Malware%
• %Endpoint%
• %sql%
• %Veeam%
• %Core.Service%
• %Mongo% ,
• %Backup%
• • %QuickBooks%
• • %QBDB%
• • %QBData%
• %QBCF%
• %Kaspersky%
• %server%
• %sage%
• %http%
• %apache%
• %segurda%
• %silverlight%

While we put 20 in here out of the hundred, that’s to show you a little bit more than what’s in the article discussion.

Suffice it to say, the list which is done by %list did work and the bullets which you see are there as well. I took the initial bullets out of this list above as there would be two bullets thanks to HTML coding.

The issue arose because we didn’t have something which is written in the documentation in place. If you are using percent codes, than you must follow it with another percent sign. So, without using a list format as shown just above, here’s how you’d write this if you were in this situation.

---

There are 100 items with a lengthy list of percent variables it can use. While we’d love to list them all, it would take us awhile to read them all, so we’ll only list a few. Some of the items include but are not limited to:
%reqsp
%list
• %%Agent%
• %%Malware%
• %%Endpoint%
• %%sql%
• %%Veeam%
• %%Core.Service%
• %%Mongo%
• %%Backup%
• %%QuickBooks%
• %%QBDB%
%reqsp

---

The paragraph above the first %reqsp is written in paragraph form, %indent but we don’t show that as the majority of the document is that way.

Since the notes are for me and I’m using a display, the force blank lines %reqsp may not necessarily be necessary. The reason why I use it is so that it doesn’t put a blank line on the first line at the top of a braille page.

Remember, Braille2000 is truly WYSIWYG. This stands for what you see if what you get. In print, it shows you the braille as it would appear. So,, doing it this way is the only way.

The other way is to use %off which disables percent codes from running at all in the file from that point forward.

I hope that this tip is of value to everyone! Thanks so much for reading.
