<h1>Converters in Jskad</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
In recent versions of Jskad, the 'Tools' menu has an option 'Launch
|
||
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.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The following converters are available:

|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
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
|
||
href="mailto:thdltools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">the
|
||
developers</a> and ask them to document it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
To use the GUI, first launch <a
|
||
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/jskad.html">Jskad</a>
|
||
itself. Then select 'Launch Converter...' from the 'Tools'
|
||
menu. Let's hope from there it's self-explanatory, because it
|
||
is not yet properly documented.<!-- DLC -->
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
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:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre>
|
||
java -cp "c:\my thdl tools\Jskad.jar" \
|
||
org.thdl.tib.input.TibetanConverter --help
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
where you must replace "c:\my thdl tools\Jskad.jar" with the
|
||
appropriate path on your system.

||
