Hello,

as @Andre9642 suggested in the comment on issue #42, here I would try to describe, what I thought with this, due to I also have not used JAWS for years.
JAWS has 2 braille modes, which are character and atribute mode. when character mode is present, text is shown on braille display. if text has one or more atributes set, then it is marked with dots seven and eight. Which atributes (bold, italic, underline etc) would be presented on display, is controled in braille settings.
atribute mode is mode where display shows first letter of atribute on a coresponding cell instead of a character. if text/character has more atributes, then display circles between them. e.g. if text is bolded and italicised, then display shows b (bold) and at next second shows i (italic) on cells, where this text was shown and then again (switches between them).

hope, that I was clear enough.

oh, forgot to add, that in JAWS you can switch between modes on the fly with routing/doublerouting key on braille display, which has reserved space for status cells. for others I do not remember a command to switch between braille modes.

thanks.

regards,
Jožef
