<h1>tibwn.ini File Format</h1>
<p>
<a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/jskad.html">Jskad</a>
and <a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/wyword.html">WylieWord</a>
both make use of a data file named <a
href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/thdltools/Jskad/source/org/thdl/tib/text/tibwn.ini?view=markup"><code>tibwn.ini</code></a>.&nbsp;
This document concerns the structure and content of that data file.
</p>
<p>
The purpose of the file is to encode all knowledge of the <a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/tm.html">Tibetan
Machine</a> (TM) and <a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/tmw.html">Tibetan
Machine Web</a> (TMW) fonts.&nbsp; Specifically, the following
knowledge is found:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
which TM glyphs corresponds to which TMW glyphs (a two-way
mapping, which is one-to-one except for TMW7.90 and TMW7.91, which
both map to the same TM glyph for our purposes)
</li>
<li>
which TM glyphs corresponds to which TMW glyphs (a two-way
mapping, which is one-to-one except for TMW7.90 and TMW7.91, which
both map to the same TM glyph for our purposes)
</li>
<li>
which Unicode codepoints are suitable for a TM or TMW to Unicode
conversion
</li>
<li>
which THDL Extended Wylie is suitable for a TM or TMW to Wylie
conversion
</li>
<li>
which vowel/bindu/vowel+bindu/achung-as-vowel glyphs correspond to
which consonant/consonant stack glyphs (needed for composing
beautiful stacks; needed for Wylie->TMW conversions and input
methods).
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Much of this knowledge is found in the <a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/tib5doc.pdf">documentation</a>
for the TM and TMW fonts.&nbsp; Note the <a
href="Tibetan51Errata.html">errata</a> for this document, as it
especially concerns the data in <code>tibwn.ini</code>.
</p>
<h3>File Format -- Overview</h3>
<p>
The <code>tibwn.ini</code> file format allows for comments, blank
lines (entirely blank, containing not even whitespace), Section
headers, comma-delimited lists, and newline-delimited rows of
tilde-delimited data.&nbsp; A comment line is any line that begins
with two slashes ('//'); the entire line is ignored.&nbsp; A blank
line is ignored, too.&nbsp; A section header is a line
'&lt;?<i>section-name</i>?&gt;'.&nbsp; A comma-delimited list must
fit entirely on one line.
</p>
<h3>File Format -- Sections</h3>
<p>
The <code>tibwn.ini</code> file is broken up into sections.&nbsp;
Currently, these are as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Consonants - set of Tibetan/Tibetanized Sanskrit consonants that
the application reading tibwn.ini supports; does not include
stacks
</li>
<li>
Numbers - set of Tibetan numbers that the application reading
tibwn.ini supports
</li>
<li>
Vowels - set of Tibetan vowels that the application reading
tibwn.ini supports
</li>
<li>
Other - set of Tibetan punctuation and other characters that the
application reading tibwn.ini supports
</li>
<li>
Input:Punctuation - application-independent data for all Tibetan
punctuation and other miscellaneous characters that can be listed
in the Other section
</li>
<li>
Input:Vowels - application-independent data for all Tibetan vowels
that can be listed in the Vowels section
</li>
<li>
Input:Tibetan - application-independent data for all Tibetan
consonants and Tibetan (but not Tibetanized Sanskrit) consonant
stacks that can be listed in the Consonants section
</li>
<li>
Input:Numbers - application-independent data for all Tibetan
numbers that can be listed in the Numbers section
</li>
<li>
Input:Sanskrit - application-independent data for all Tibetanized
Sanskrit stacks
</li>
<li>
ToWylie - data needed merely for Tibetan-to-THDL Extended Wylie
and Tibetan-to-Unicode conversions
</li>
<li>
Ignore - a section containing data to be ignored for all purposes
other than Tibetan-to-Unicode conversions (should probably be
called ToUnicode at this point <!-- FIXME -->, but is called
Ignore because it was once entirely ignored)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The Consonants, Numbers, Vowels, and Other sections contain
comma-delimited lists of the THDL Extended Wylie representations of
each consonant, number, etc. that the application reading
<code>tibwn.ini</code> wishes to support.&nbsp; Note that it is not
possible to represent a comma (though extending the file format to
do so would likely work along the same lines as the support for '~'
characters via __TILDE__).&nbsp; These sections should probably be
discarded entirely so that applications and users can choose which
characters to support themselves.&nbsp; The rest of the file is
application-independent.<!-- FIXME -->
</p>
<p>
The remaining sections are the meat of the file.&nbsp; Each one
contains zero or more rows of data, one row per line.&nbsp; Each
line looks like this:
</p>
<pre>
h~61,1~1,100~1,62~1,109~1,112~1,123~1,125~10,115~10,122~0F67~1,102~
</pre>
<p>
Each line describes one glyph in the Tibetan Machine Web font.&nbsp;
There are thirteen tilde-delimited columns per line, though the last
two columns are optional.&nbsp; An empty column takes no space; for
example,
</p>
<pre>
_~32,1~~2,32~~~~~~~0020
</pre>
<p>
has non-empty data for only columns 1 (the first column, i.e. the one
containing an underscore), 2, 4, and 11.&nbsp; When it is desirable to
represent a tilde ('~') character, __TILDE__ is used.&nbsp; For
example, in the THDL Extended Wylie for nyi zla, a tilde is used, so
this line occurs:
</p>
<pre>
__TILDE__^~91,5~~9,89~~~~~~~0F82
</pre>
<p>
The columns themselves each have a meaning.&nbsp; They are as
follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Column 1 - the THDL Extended Wylie corresponding to this glyph
</li>
<li>
Column 2 - '<i>ord</i>,<i>fn</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmindex">Tibetan Machine font</a> and <i>ord</i> tells
which glyph in <b>Tibetan Machine</b> corresponds to the Tibetan
Machine Web glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 3 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web <b>reduced-height glyph</b> corresponding to the full-height
glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
<b>Column 4 - key -</b> '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i>
corresponds to a <a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a>
and <i>ord</i> tells which Tibetan Machine Web glyph this line
describes.&nbsp; No two rows of data may have the same value for
this column.&nbsp; (Note that TMW is a superset of TM, so there is
one glyph in TM that could reasonably appear twice, mapped to both
TibetanMachineWeb7.90 and TMW7.91.)&nbsp; <i>But note that Jskad
etc. must deal with a superset of TMW -- such as when converting
the ACIP {<tt>W+W+W+KA</tt>} into Unicode -- and thus cannot
internally use the TMW glyph alone to represent arbitrary Tibetan
text.&nbsp; And the Extended Wylie Transliteration is not a unique
key either; see, e.g., the many glyphs that EWTS
{<tt>r</tt>}.&nbsp; For this reason, a smart tool uses the pair
(EWTS,&nbsp;TMW) as an internal representation.&nbsp; (In Jskad,
this is done in a way that's hard to understand, but it is done --
see, e.g., the code implementing the TMW-&gt;ACIP conversion of
TibetanMachineWeb7.69.)</i>
</li>
<li>
Column 5 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web glyph for the <b>gi-gu</b> vowel that looks most beautiful
with the glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 6 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web glyph for the <b>zhabs-kyu</b> vowel that looks most beautiful
with the glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 7 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web glyph for the <b>'greng-bu</b> vowel that looks most beautiful
with the glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 8 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web glyph for the <b>na-ro</b> vowel that looks most beautiful
with the glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 9 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to a
<a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web glyph for the <b>a-chung</b> [Sanskrit] vowel that looks most
beautiful with the glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 10 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to
a <a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web glyph for the <b>a-chung plus zhabs-kyu</b> [Sanskrit] vowel
that looks most beautiful with the glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 11 - '<i>x<sub>1</sub></i>,<i>x<sub>2</sub></i>,...' or
'none', where <i>x<sub>i</sub></i> describes a Unicode codepoint,
most often a codepoint in the Tibetan range U+0F00 to
U+0FFF.&nbsp; A case-insensitive string of one, two, three, or
four hexadecimal digits composes each <i>x<sub>i</sub></i>.&nbsp;
The full, comma-separated sequence is the preferred Unicode
representation of the glyph this line describes; 'none' appears
for glyphs that have no Unicode correspondence.
</li>
<li>
Column 12 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to
a <a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web <b>severely-reduced-height glyph</b> corresponding to the
full-height glyph this line describes
</li>
<li>
Column 13 - '<i>fn</i>,<i>ord</i>' where <i>fn</i> corresponds to
a <a href="#tmwindex">Tibetan Machine Web font</a> and <i>ord</i>
tells which glyph in that font corresponds to the Tibetan Machine
Web <b>vowel+bindu glyph</b> corresponding to the vowel glyph this
line describes
</li>
