because I don't know which glyphs o and x correspond to. For that
reason, they cause ERRORs.
The proposed THDL Extended Wylie ~X and X is now used for U+0F35 and
U+0F37 respectively.
TMW->Wylie text. All the conversions show you which format they take
as input and which format they give as output.
File filter for ACIP files added.
The GUI converter suggests a file extension wisely.
Fixed newline bug in ACIP->Unicode converter.
that the following would look better with shortened 'dreng-bu also,
but I'm sticking with the TM/TMW docs:

mappings, so I've put them back, but with the EWTS non-correspondences
\tmwXYYY.
Jskad no longer supports superscribed or subscribed numerals, because
EWTS does not.
Brought <?Other?> closer to EWTS
Removed __TILDE__ (no longer in EWTS)
Changed M^ to ^M per new EWTS draft
Added ai, au, -i from WW tibwn.ini -- they were missing in this version
bugs; it is pre-alpha. It's usable, though, and finds tons of errors
in ACIP input files, with the user deciding just how pedantic to be.
The biggest outstanding bug is the silent one: treating { }, space, as
tsheg instead of whitespace when we ought to know better.
that say "ya can take a ga prefix" etc.
The ACIP->Unicode converter now gives warnings (optionally, and by
default, inline). This converter now produces output even when
lexical errors occur, but the output has errors and warnings inline.
\, the Sanskrit virama, is not used. Of the 1370-odd ACIP texts I've
got here, about 57% make it through the gauntlet (fewer if you demand
a vowel or disambiguator on every stack of a non-Tibetan tsheg bar).
b, c, d, e, ... do not belong in ACIP, so the scanner rejects them.
This should make it even easier to distinguish automatically between
Tibetan and English texts.
is a correction, that's a comment, this is Tibetan, that's Latin
(English), that's Tibetan inter-tsheg-bar punctuation, etc.) It now
accepts more real-world ACIP files, i.e. it handles illegal
constructs. The error checking is more user-friendly. There are now
tests.
Added some tsheg bars that Peter E. Hauer of Linguasoft sent me to the
tests. Many thanks, Peter. I still need to implement rules that say,
"This is not Tibetan, it must be Sanskrit, because that letter doesn't
take a MA prefix."
up that String into tsheg bars, punctuation, etc., while finding
errors. I've tested it some, but I'm not yet committing the tests.
Next step: a converter that takes an ACIP file as input and outputs
TMW+Latin.
and it has the capability to produce error messages and warnings that
make sense to the user. One can now get the correct parse, if one
exists, for an ACIP tsheg bar.
One could even feed in ACIP and get a list of warnings about things as
innocuous as PADMA, which a dumb converter would have trouble with.
One could then turn ACIP into well-behaved ACIP for that dumb
converter, if you really wanted to.
Still to do:
o Scan ACIP files into tsheg bars.
o Produce TMW/Latin (from which you can get Unicode, etc.).
o E-mail the illegal tsheg bars to the ACIP fellows so they can fix
the affected documents (most of the Kangyur has unparseable
creatures).
Our disambiguation is now perfect, happening when and only when it is
necessary. These are all illegal, so it shouldn't affect many
existing conversions. But if there were typos, it could.
or <?Numbers?> commands; it instead hard-codes the appropriate comma-
delimited lists. This is cleaner because WylieWord and Jskad had different
values for these lists.
TMW->Wylie conversions with the new-and-improved TMW->Wylie
algorithm faulty.
Now I'm using it a little more than you need to, e.g. b.lha instead of blha is
generated because bla and b.la are ambiguous.
like \bullet, \emdash, etc., and this fix only works for Windows or OS/2 RTF
files, not for Mac RTF files. So if you want a TM->TMW conversion to work,
use MS Word for Windows, not for the Mac.
'<' and '>'. The current keyboard implementation makes this an either-or
proposition, when fundamentally it need not be.
Added a <?Numbers?> command and an <?Input:Numbers?> command to
tibwn.ini; broke the numbers apart from the consonants. This facilitates the
new-and-improved Tibetan->Wylie conversion.
Tibetan->Wylie is now done by forming legal tsheg-bars. A legal tsheg bar
is converted into perfect THDL Wylie. See code comments to learn what
it thinks is a legal tsheg-bar, but it inlcudes bskyUMbsH minus the trailing
punctuation (H), e.g.
Illegal sequences, such as runs of transliterated Sanskrit, are turned into
unambiguous Wylie; each glyph is followed by a vowel or a disambiguator
('.').
I've made it so that the illegal sequences are as beautiful as possible. You
get 'pad+me', for example, not the equivalent but uglier 'pad+m.e.'.
