I have attached a sample of a web address, can you please advise if the space at the end of the line after the continuation indicator counts and terminates grade one and numberic mode.
5.6.2 When grade 1 mode is set by the numeric indicator it is terminated by a space, hyphen, dash or grade 1 terminator.
Hello Kim,
In your example, the three lines that end with a line continuation indicator (dot 5) leave several cells empty at the end of the lines. These blank cells are not spaces that would terminate grade 1 mode that was set by the last numeric indicator. The line continuation indicator tells the reader that the electronic address continues on the next line because the symbols-sequence is too long for the line.
As such, with on the next line is in grade 1 mode that was set by the last numeric indicator and may not be contracted unless you terminate grade 1 mode after the previous numeric sequence. Whether you terminate grade 1 or spell-out with, you will not save space, but in either case, the four contractions that follow the first hyphen in the remaining symbols-sequnce may be used.
You may want to refer to UEB §5.9.1 to decide if you want to use a grade 1 terminator to “present words in their familiar contracted form,” or spell it out to “minimize the number of indicators.”
I hope this helps. (I posted the same answer in your previous post.) Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments.

Exactly, Dan.
The end of a braille line counts as a braille space unless the dot 5 continuation indicator is used.
Thank you for the question, Kim.
For what it’s worth, I would be inclined to avoid use of the grade 1 terminator and transcribe your example as follows.
