ITRANS 6.00 - Encoding for Unicode Output
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the transliteration scheme used by ITRANS version 6.00 (and
higher). If you encounter any text that uses this scheme, that text
can be printed in the Devanagari script using the ITRANS package.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to these ASCII/English codes, Unicode characters can be directly
entered without needing to escape out of ITRANS mode (no ## escape needed).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vowels (dependent and independent):
-------
a            aa / A        i            ii / I        u       uu / U
Rri / R^i    RRI / R^I     Lli / L^i    LLI / L^I
e            ee / E        ai           o             oo / O  au
aM      aH

Consonants:
----------- 
k     kh     g     gh     ~N
ch    Ch     j     jh     ~n / JN
T     Th     D     Dh     N
t     th     d     dh     n
p     ph     b     bh     m
y     r      l     v / w    L / ld
sh    Sh / shh     s     h
x / kSh      shr
j~n / dny / jny / jnj
zh    SRI (Tamil, same as shrii)
R (Marathi, Tamil RA)
Y (Bengali)

k  with a dot:      q
kh with a dot:      K
g  with a dot:      G
j  with a dot:      z / J
p  with a dot:      f
D  with a dot:      .D
Dh with a dot:      .Dh

-----------------
Anusvara:       .n / M / .m  (dot on top of previous consonant/vowel)
Avagraha:       .a    (`S`-like symbol basically to replace a after o)
Ardhachandra:   .c    (for vowel sound as in english words `cat' or `talk')
Chandra-Bindu:  .N    (chandra-bindu on top of previous letter)
Chandra-Bindu-Viraam:  .N.h
Halant:		.h    (to get half-form of the consonant - no vowel - virama)
Visarga:        H     (visarga - looks like a colon character)
Danda           |
Double-danda    ||
Udatta          .s
Double-Svarita  .ds
Anudatta        .au

Direct entry of Unicode code points
ka॓     ka with grave accent

No need to use itrans escape codes ##. Unicode code points can be
directly entered inside itrans encoded sections.

-----------------
 Consonants have been shown without any vowel, add suffix "a" to produce
 a normal consonant, example, "jaya" or "jay" for (JA)-(YA), etc.
 Watch out for ambiguous input: use _ to break lexical scans, example:
 use "ga_ii" instead of "gaii" when you need (GA)-(VOWEL ii), because "gaii"
 will be parsed as (GA with dependent VOWEL ai)-(VOWEL i)!
 But in most cases the _ is not needed...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each devanagari letter is constructed as C + C + C + .. + V
(one or more consonants, followed by a vowel).
If the vowel is omitted at the end of a word, the "a" vowel will be
assumed (use halant - .h to get the short form of the consonant - which
is a consonant without any vowel, ex: k.h).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Punctuation available:
,    ;    :    /    ?    !    (    )
Note that hyphen (-) is not available --- use \- in the indian text to get
a hyphen. Also, use \. to get period (.), for Danda, use |.
