// brailleChars = [ [[1]], [[1]], [[1]]  ]

var htmlrenderer = new Renderer();
// renders dots into the given cell
var HTMLElementCell = htmlrenderer.dots(brailleChars[0][0], htmlrenderer.cell());

Features

• es6: classes, generators, arrow functions, ..
• set up multiple languages (gabraille.addLanguage) and toggle active with gabraille.language
• use separator {, } to divide multi letter characters in a sequence, like: match -> mat{ch}
• eliminiate whitespaces from sequence: reduce into 1 space, or eliminate all
• basic renderer without a DOM manipulator library
• Translator and Renderer can be swapped even in runtime

Todo

• renderer.sequence
• renderer configuration: element type/cell,col,dot + classes and attributes
• negative tests
• builds: es6/es5/node.js
• travis integration
• ready to accept contributions
• live example page
