addBrahmicScheme

public void addBrahmicScheme(java.lang.String name,
                             Sanscript.Scheme scheme)

Add a Brahmic scheme to Sanscript. Schemes are of two types: "Brahmic" and "roman". Brahmic consonants have an inherent vowel sound, but roman consonants do not. This is the main difference between these two types of scheme. A scheme definition is an object ("{}") that maps a group name to a list of characters. For illustration, see the "devanagari" scheme at the top of this file. You can use whatever group names you like, but for the best results, you should use the same group names that Sanscript does.

Parameters:

name - the scheme name

scheme - the scheme data itself. This should be constructed as described above.

addRomanScheme

public void addRomanScheme(java.lang.String name,
                           Sanscript.Scheme scheme)

Add a roman scheme to Sanscript. See the comments on addBrahmicScheme. The "vowel_marks" field can be omitted.

Parameters:

name - the scheme name

scheme - the scheme data itself

t

public java.lang.String t(java.lang.String data,
                          java.lang.String from,
                          java.lang.String to,
                          Sanscript.Options options)

Transliterate from one script to another.

Parameters:

data - the string to transliterate

from - the source script

to - the destination script

options - transliteration options

Returns:

the finished string

t

public java.lang.String t(java.lang.String data,
                          java.lang.String from,
                          java.lang.String to)
