Hi Daniel, please post further messages on the mailing list you used initially so all can answer you, instead of to me privately. You need not only liblouis (intended for developers of software relying on it and translation table writers) but also liblouisutdml that includes the generic translator file2brl and liblouisxml that includes the more specialized translators msword2brl, pdf2brl, rtf2brl and xml2brl. Each translator have an associated man package and a --help option, thanks to the late John J. Boyer. Be aware that the domain of John's website abilitiessoft.com is for sale, so you won't fine anything there. Neither liblouisxml nor liblouisutdtml are packages from Arch. They seem to be packaged only for Debian and derivatives. They are packaged for and included in Slint that I maintain.
