Xlit Description

A free program for transliterating text, that is, for converting text from one writing system into another Xlit allows the user to define a transliteration simply by typing the input strings in one window and the strings to which they are to be mapped in another. This makes it suitable for use for dealing with non-standard transliteration, such as those often necessary between the language notes made by a missionary, trader, or other amateur and technical linguistic notation, or between linguistic notation and a practical writing system.Xlit also provides some advanced facilities not found in typical transliteration and encoding conversion programs. It is often necessary to restrict transliteration to particular parts of the text. Xlit understands a variety of delimiters and if so instructed will transliterate only the regions enclosed by the specified delimiters or only their complements. It can also convert one type of delimiter to another.Xlit output and input is in UTF-8 Unicode. At present, output is limited to the Basic Monolingual Plane (the first 16 bits) because the language in which it is developed, Tcl/Tk, only supports the BMP. Once Tcl/Tk will support full Unicode, so will Xlit. Requirements: · Tcl/Tk · Iwidgets What's New in This Release: · A bug that interfered with running in batch mode has been fixed. · Tk 8.5+ on X11 is now detected and font sizes appropriately modified. · The license is now GPL version 3.
