<h2>TMW to THDL Extended Wylie Converter</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the same JAR file as Jskad, power users will find a command-line
|
|
utility that converts Tibetan Machine Web-encoded (TMW-encoded) Rich
|
|
Text Format (RTF) files to RTF files with the appropriate THDL
|
|
Extended Wylie (Wylie) used instead of TMW.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This converter is smart enough to solve the "curly-brace
|
|
problem". This problem originates with certain versions
|
|
of Microsoft Word's Rich Text Format writing capabilities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Further, this converter gives a polite error message when a given
|
|
.rtf file simply cannot be read by the version of Java used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Perhaps most importantly, the converter has a
|
|
<tt>--find-some-non-tmw</tt> mode of operation that gives you, the
|
|
user, confidence that RTF reading and writing idiosyncrasies are not
|
|
going to interfere with a flawless conversion. It does so by
|
|
printing out the first occurrence of a given character in a non-TMW
|
|
font. Here is some example output:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
java -cp Jskad.jar \
|
|
org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE \
|
|
--find-some-non-tmw \
|
|
"Dalai Lama Fifth History 01.rtf"
|
|
non-TMW character newline in the font Tahoma appears first at location 39
|
|
non-TMW character ' ' in the font TimesNewRoman appears first at location 45
|
|
non-TMW character '}' in the font Tahoma appears first at location 66
|
|
non-TMW character '{' in the font Tahoma appears first at location 219
|
|
non-TMW character '\' in the font Tahoma appears first at location 1237
|
|
non-TMW character newline in the font Times New Roman appears first at location 9754
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Given the above output, you can be sure that a flawless conversion
|
|
(barring the appearance of <a href="#knownbugs">known bugs</a>) will
|
|
result when you run <tt>java -cp Jskad.jar
|
|
org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE "Dalai Lama Fifth History
|
|
01.rtf" > "Dalai Lama Fifth History 01 in THDL Extended
|
|
Wylie.rtf"</tt>. This is because the only text in the input
|
|
file besides Tibetan is whitespace and the Tahoma characters
|
|
<tt>'{'</tt>, <tt>'}'</tt>, and <tt>'\'</tt>. These Tahoma
|
|
characters are understood by the tool; they are symptoms of the
|
|
"curly-brace problem".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that some TMW glyphs have no transliteration in Exteded
|
|
Wylie. When you encounter such a glyph, you'll find a message
|
|
like the following in your RTF output:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt><<[[JSKAD_TMW_TO_WYLIE_ERROR_NO_SUCH_WYLIE: Cannot convert
|
|
DuffCode <duffcode font=TibetanMachineWeb8 charNum=101
|
|
character=e/> to THDL Extended Wylie. Please see the <a
|
|
href="http://iris.lib.virginia.edu/tibet/tools/tmw.html#doc">
|
|
documentation for the TMW font</a> and transcribe this
|
|
yourself.]]>></tt>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Upon seeing this, you should consult the <a
|
|
href="http://iris.lib.virginia.edu/tibet/tools/tmw.html#doc">
|
|
documentation</a> for the specific TMW font named. Find the
|
|
glyph (by its charNum) and decide how to proceed. If you find
|
|
a glyph that you believe should have been converted into Extended
|
|
Wylie by the tool, please report this as a bug.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Invoking the Converter</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
First add Jskad.jar to your CLASSPATH. Now run the command
|
|
<tt>java org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE</tt> from a
|
|
command prompt. You will see usage information appear.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="knownbugs"></a>Known Bugs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the TMW given is not syntactically legal, then the Wylie that
|
|
results will not necessarily yield, if imported into Jskad, the same
|
|
Tibetan with which the converter started.
