EWTS To Tibetan Converters
+ ++ This document describes the EWTS->Tibetan converters built atop + Jskad. + These converters were initially written by David Chandler, a + volunteer with the Tibetan and + Himalayan Digital Library, from 2003-2005. They built upon + the work of Tony Duff, Edward Garrett, Than Garson, and + Andrés Montano Pellegrini. (Please forgive any omission from + this list.) +
+ ++ These converters accept transliteration in Latin alphabet conforming + to the Extended + Wylie Transliteration Scheme (EWTS) proposed by THDL. +
+ ++ The converters were built by retrofitting the ACIP->Tibetan + converters with support for EWTS since both are Latin-alphabet + transliteration schemes. The two are quite different (greedy + stacking vs. explicit stacking, handling of U+0F68, disambiguation + character, etc.). The EWTS converters are not yet as trustworthy as + the ACIP converters because they've not been as well tested. +
+ ++ To learn more about how to use the converters via either the GUI or + command-line interface, please see the documentation for the ACIP->Tibetan + converters and keep in mind the various differences in + transliteration rules. If you find this documentation lacking, + please e-mail the developers + and let them know that, giving as many details as possible. +
