Provides classes and methods for inputting and converting to and from
Tibetan text.
<p>
Designed for use with the Tibetan Computer Company's free
cross-platform Tibetan Machine Web fonts, this package contains
methods for inputting Tibetan using various keyboard input methods,
including true Wylie-based input, as well as user-defined keyboards.
<p>
The package includes a simple Tibetan text editor, Jskad, which can be
run as an local application or embedded in a web page.&nbsp; Jskad
supports a wide range of functions, including conversion back and
forth between Tibetan Machine Web and Extended Wylie.
<p>
Also included is TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE, a command-line utility for
converting Rich Text Format (RTF)a documents that use the Tibetan
Machine Web fonts into Extended Wylie.&nbsp; This utility is aware of
quirks in Java Swing's RTF support and works around them.
<p>

Added Javadoc files overview.html and several package.html files. Added a "Quit" option to Savant's File menu. Factored out the Close option in doing so. Exceptions in many action listeners are now handled by org.thdl.util.ThdlActionListener or org.thdl.util.ThdlAbstractAction. Many exceptions that we used to just log now optionally cause aborts. This option is on by default for developers using 'ant savant-run'-style targets, but it is off for users. An erroneous CLASSPATH now causes a useful error message in almost all situations. Fixed some typos and bad links in Javadoc comments. Added a simple assertion facility, but the overhead is suffered even in release builds. Factored out the code that sets up log files like savant.log and jskad.log. 2002-10-06 18:23:27 +00:00			`<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">`

The ACIP "BNA" was converting to B-NA instead of B+NA, even though NA cannot take a BA prefix. This was because BNA was interpreted as root-suffix. In ACIP, BN is surely B+N unless N takes a B prefix, so root-suffix is out of the question. 2003-10-26 00:21:54 +00:00			`Provides classes and methods for inputting and converting to and from`

I've added a command-line converter, org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE. It converts RTF files consisting of TMW characters to the corresponding THDL Extended Wylie. It supports --find-some-non-tmw mode, which allows you to ensure that no unusual characters will spoil the conversion. The converter has built-in intelligence that allows it to handle Tahoma '{', '}', and '\\' characters properly. The converter works on mixed Roman/TMW also, but --find-some-non-tmw and --find-all-non-tmw modes are not as useful. Invoke org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE, which resides in Jskad's jar, with no command-line options to see usage information. 2003-05-18 14:14:47 +00:00			`Designed for use with the Tibetan Computer Company's free`
