In recent versions of Jskad, the 'Tools' menu has an option 'Launch
2003-12-07 00:13:30 +00:00
Converter...'. If you use that option, you will find a set of
first-class converters that can convert digital Tibetan from one
form to another. (A command-line interface is also available;
see below.)

Some of the converters there are based on Jskad technology, but all
are first-class in the sense that they are well though-out, well
tested<!-- DLC LINK TO V&V story --> , and handle errors
nicely. Certain features in Jskad are quite buggy; for
example, its keyboards do not work as desired, but even when they
do, they silently drop certain input characters. Do not worry
that the converters described here suffer from these flaws; not one
character of input is ever silently dropped. It is the
intention of the developers that a Buddhist canon one day could be
entrusted to these converters. Before you do that, though,
please contact < a
href="mailto:thdltools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">the
developers< / a > to be sure that this documentation is up-to-date and
to develop a custom validation and verification plan. None of
the converters has yet been hand-validated on a real text of any
size, but extensive unit testing has been performed for each
conversion at every stage of development.

The converters have a user-friendly GUI interface, and it tells you
when things go wrong (from things like the lack of a needed glyph in
the output font to things like your having selected the wrong
conversion). The GUI is not properly documented here, and
probably will not be until you contact < a

developers< / a > and ask them to document it.

For batch conversions of many files, a command-line interface to the
converters may be more suitable than the GUI interface. In the
same JAR file as Jskad, power users will find a command-line utility
that can do everything the GUI interface to the converters can
do. To learn how to invoke it, see the output you get when you
use this invocation:

DO NOT DELETE THE SF.NET LOGO.
We have a choice of colors and sizes for this logo (see
"https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=790& group_id=1"),
but we do not have the option of removing it. SourceForge requests
that we put it on each web page for our project, and to give us
incentive to do so, they will not track the number of hits for our
project web pages unless we put this link in. To track hits, see
"http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/index.php?report=months& group_id=61934".
