Generating Unicode Braille Patterns about liblouisutdml HOT 4 CLOSED

I would consider this to be a "documentation issue", not a "question".

The functionality is actually built-in. Simply use the Unicode Braille Patterns Table (unicode.dis):

> lou_translate unicode.dis,de-de-g0.utb
höhe
\x2813\x282a\x2813\x2811

However, i still do not unterstand what the default output format is:

> lou_trace -f de-de-g0.utb 
höhe
h9he
1.  lowercase   h   125
2.  lowercase   ö  246
3.  lowercase   h   125
4.  lowercase   e   15

häuser
h`user
1.  lowercase   h   125
2.  lowercase   ä  345
3.  lowercase   u   136
4.  lowercase   s   234
5.  lowercase   e   15
6.  lowercase   r   1235

The documentation only mentions "[...] It causes the dot patterns to be Unicode Braille rather than the liblouis representation" without defining the terms "liblouis representation" and "unicode braille".

Unicode handling is notoriously broken with the liblouis tools such as lou_translate or lou_trace. I think I believe that I have fixed this in master (starting from liblouis/liblouis@e93cd54 it should work).

Regarding documentation I honestly would like to have better doc too. You can maybe ask on the mailing list for some advice. Also I would be happy to merge a patch that improves the documentation.

A "Getting Started Guide" in the style of the Elastichsearch-Reference would be awesome. I am trying to write a short tutorial as soon as I am more confident with the tool.

That would be great, thanks
