a couple of references that I didn't grok.

<h2>EWTS To Tibetan Converters</h2>
<p>
This document describes the EWTS-&gt;Tibetan converters built atop
<a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/tools/jskad.html">Jskad</a>.&nbsp;
These converters were initially written by David Chandler, a
volunteer with the <a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/index.html">Tibetan and
Himalayan Digital Library</a>, from 2003-2005.&nbsp; They built upon
the work of Tony Duff, Edward Garrett, Than Garson, and
Andr&eacute;s Montano Pellegrini. (Please forgive any omission from
this list.)
</p>
<p>
These converters accept transliteration in Latin alphabet conforming
to the <a
href="http://orion.lib.virginia.edu/thdl/collections/langling/ewts/">Extended
Wylie Transliteration Scheme</a> (EWTS) proposed by THDL.
</p>
<p>
The converters were built by retrofitting the <a
href="ACIP_To_Tibetan_Converter.html">ACIP-&gt;Tibetan</a>
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.
</p>
<p>
To learn more about how to use the converters via either the GUI or
command-line interface, please see the documentation for the <a
href="ACIP_To_Tibetan_Converter.html">ACIP-&gt;Tibetan</a>
converters and keep in mind the various differences in
transliteration rules. If you find this documentation lacking,
please e-mail the <a
href="mailto:thdltools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">developers</a>
and let them know that, giving as many details as possible.
