Re: [orca-list] Looking for suggestions on how to integrate orca with LaTeX-access scripts

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Alastair:

This is indeed interesting.  I'm not quite sure how to do this -- we 
never really thought to provide hooks for this kind of thing.  For 
braille, you might try goofing with default.py:updateBraille.  I'm not 
sure if you can replace/redirect it by importing orca.default in your 
~/.orca/orca-customizations.py file, but it might be interesting to try 
as an experiment.
