.SH NAME
.IP \fITRANSLIT\fR
Program to transliterate texts in different character sets. The program
converts input character codes (or sequences of codes) to a different set
of output character codes (or sequences of codes). Intended for
transliteration to/from phonetic representation of foreign letters with
Latin letters from/to special national codes used for these letters.
It supports simple matches, character lists and flexible matches via
regular expressions. The new transliteration schemes are easily added
by creating simple transliteration tables. Multiple character sets
are supported for input and output. It does not yet support UNICODE,
but some day it will.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB-i\fP \fIinpfile\fP"
.I inpfile
is a name of input file to be transliterated.
If "\fB-i\fP" is not specified, the input is taken from
standard input.
.IP "\fB-o\fP \fIoutfile\fP"
.I outfile
is an output file, where the transliterated
text is stored. If "\fB-o\fP"  is not specified, the output is
directed to the standard output. Program will not overwrite the existing
file. If file exists, you need to delete it first.
.IP "\fB-d\fP"
Some information on character codes read from transliteration table file
are sent to standard error ("\fIstderr\fP"). Useful when developing
new transliteration tables.
.IP "\fB-t\fP \fItranstbl\fP"
.I transtbl
is a transliteration table file which you want to use. The "\fB-t\fP"
option may be omitted if the \fItranstbl\fR
is specified as the last parameter on the
command line. The program first tries to locate \fItranstbl\fR
file in the current directory, and if not found, it
searches the directory chosen at compilation/installation time in
"\fIpaths.h\fP". If no "\fItranstbl\fP" is given, the default file name
specified in "\fIpaths.h\fP" is taken. The compile/installation
time defaults in
"\fIpaths.h\fR" for the search directory and the default
file name can be overiden
by setting environment variables: TRANSP and TRANSF, respectively (see below).
 
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The default path to the directory holding transliteration tables can
be overiden by setting environment variable TRANSP. The default name
for the transliteration table can be overiden by setting TRANSF environment
variable. However, when the transliteration file is given on the command line,
it will overide the defaults and environment setting.
Here are some examples of setting environment
variables for different operating systems:

.SH EXAMPLES
.ta 5m
.br
	cat text.koi8 \|\||\|\| translit koi8-tex.rus > text.tex
.br
in UN*X is equivalent to:
.sp 1
	translit -t koi8-tex.rus -o text.tex -i text.koi8
.br
and converts file text.koi8 to file text.tex using transliteration
specified in the file koi8-tex.rus.
.sp 1
	translit -i text.koi8 koi8-cl.rus
.br
displays the converted text from file text.koi8 on your terminal. The
conversion table is koi8-cl.rus (KOI8 --> Library of Congress).
.sp 1
	translit -i text.alt -t alt-koi8.rus \|\||\|\| translit -o text.tex -t koi8-tex.rus
.br
is essentially equivalent to the following two commands in UN*X or MS-DOS:
.br
	translit -i text.alt -o junkfile -t alt-koi8.rus
.br
	translit -i junkfile -o text.tex -t koi8-tex.rus
.br
and converts the file in ALT character set to a LaTeX file for printing.
.sp
	translit -i russ.txt pho-koi8.rus \|\||\|\| translit -o russ.tex koi8-tex.rus
.br
converts file russ.txt from phonetic transliteration to LaTeX file russ.tex
for printing.

.SH TRANSLITERATION TABLES
The following transliteration files are available with the current
distribution. Consult the comments in the individual files for details.
.IP \fIkoi8-tex.rus\fP
Conversion table which changes the file in KOI8 (8 bit character set
used by RELCOM news service) to a LaTeX file for printing with
\fIAMS\fR WNCYR fonts.
.IP \fItex-koi8.rus\fP
Conversion table for the LaTeX to KOI8 conversion. Note that it will not
handle complicated cases, since LaTeX is a program, and only TeX can
convert a LaTeX  source to the characters. However, it should work OK
for simple cases of text only files, and may need some editing for
complicated cases.
.IP \fIalt-gos.rus\fP
This is a transliteration data file for converting from ALT (Bryabrins
alternativnyj variant used in many popular wordprocessors)
to GOSTSCII 84 (approx. ISO-8859-5?)
.IP \fIalt-koi8.rus\fP
This is a transliteration data file for converting from ALT to KOI8.
KOI8 is meant to be GOST 19768-74 (as used by RELCOM).
.IP \fIgos-alt.rus\fP
This is a transliteration data file for converting GOSTSCII 84
(approx. ISO-8859-5?) to ALT (Bryabrins alternativnyj variant)
.IP \fIgos-koi8.rus\fP
This is a transliteration data file for converting GOSTSCII 84
(approx. ISO-8859-5?) to KOI8 used by RELCOM

.IP \fIkoi8-gos.rus\fP
This is a transliteration data file for converting from KOI8 (Relcom).
KOI8 is meant to be GOST 19768-74, to GOSTSCII 84 (approx. ISO-8859-5)
.IP \fIkoi8-7.rus\fP
This file converts from KOI8 to KOI7.
.IP \fIkoi7-8.rus\fP
This file converts from KOI7 to KOI8. Before you attempt the conversion,
you might need to perform a simple edit on your file. You MUST read the
comments in  \fIkoi7-8.rus\fR before you attempt this conversion.
.IP \fIkoi7nl-8.rus\fP
This file assumes that there are only Russian letters (no Latin)
in the input file. If you have Latin letters, and you inserted SHIFT-OUT/IN
characters, use file \fIkoi7-8.rus\fP.
.IP \fIkoi8-lc.rus\fP
This file converts KOI8 to the Library of Congress transliteration.
Some extensions are added.
.IP \fIkoi8-php.rus\fP
This file converts KOI8 to the Pokrovsky transliteration.
.IP \fIphp-koi8.rus\fP
This file converts from Pokrovsky transliteration to KOI8.
.IP \fIkoi8-phg.rus\fP
This file converts from KOI8 to GOST transliteration.
.IP \fIphg-koi8.rus\fP
This file converts from GOST transliteration to KOI8.
.IP \fIpho-koi8.rus\fP
This is a table which will convert from many "phonetic" transliteration
schemes to KOI8. It is elaborate and it takes a lot of time to
transliterate the file using this table. Some transliterations are
hopeless and internally inconsistent (as humans...), so the results
cannot be bug free.
You might want to modify the file, if your transliteration
patterns are different than those assumed in this file. You may also want
to simplify this file if the phonetic transliteration you are converting
is a sound one (most are not, e.g., they use e for je and e oborotnoye,
ts for c and t-s, h for kha, i for i-kratkoe, etc.).

.SH INTRODUCTION
If you do not intend to write your own transliteration tables, you may
skip this description and go directly to the installation and
copyright sections. However, you might want to read this material anyhow,
to better understand the traps and complexities of transliteration.
It is frequently necessary to transliterate text, i.e., to change one set
of characters (or composite characters, phonemes, etc.) to another set.
.PP
On computers, the transliteration operation consists of converting the input
file in some character set to the output file in another character set.
.PP
In the simplest case, the single characters are transliterated, i.e, their
codes are changed according to some transliteration table. This is called
remapping and, assuming the one-to-one mapping, the task can be accomplished
by a simple pseudo program:
.br
	new_char_code = character_map[old_char_code];
.PP
If the one-to-one correspondence does not exist (i.e., some codes may
be present in one set, but do not have corresponding codes in another set),
precise transliteration is not possible. In such cases there are 3 obvious
possibilities:
.br
	1. skip characters which do not have counterparts,
.br
	2. retain unchanged codes of these characters,
.br
	3. convert the codes to multicharacter sequences.
.br
In some cases, the file can contain more than one character sets, e.g.,
the file can contain Latin characters (e.g. English text) and Cyrillic
characters (e.g. Russian text). If the character codes assigned to
characters in different sets do not overlap, this is still a simple mapping
problem. This is a case with KOI8 or GOSTCII character tables for Russian,
which reserve the lower 127 codes for standard ASCII codes (which include
all Latin characters) and characters with codes above 127 for Cyrillic letters.
.PP
If character codes overlap, there is a SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN technique in
which the meaning of the character sequence is determined by an opening
code (or sequence of characters codes). In this case, the meaning of the
series of characters is determined by the SHIFT-OUT character (or sequence)
which precedes them. The SHIFT-IN character (or sequence) following the
series of characters returns the "reader" to the default or previous status.
To schemes are used:
.br
	(char_set_1)(SHIFT-IN[1])(SHIFT-OUT[2])(char_set_2)...
.br
or
.br
	(char_set_1)(SHIFT-OUT[2])(char_set_2)(SHIFT-OUT[1])char_set_1...
.br
.sp 1
Since computer keyboards, screens, printers, software, etc.,  are by necessity
language specific (the most popular being ASCII), there is a problem of typing
foreign language text which contains letters different than standard Latin
alphabet. For this reason, many transliteration schemes use several Latin
letters to represent a single letter of foreign alphabet, for example:
.br
zh is used to represent cyrillic letter zhe,  \|\\\|"o may be used to
represent the o umlaut, etc.
 
If there is one-to-one mapping of such sequences to another alphabet, it
is also easy to process. However, it is necessary to substitute longest
sequences first. For example, a frequently used transliteration
for cyrillic letters:
.br
.ta 2mL     7mL 11mL            24mL
	\fIshch\fR	---	letter \fBshcza\fR	221 (decimal KOI8 code)
.br
	\fIsh\fR	---	letter \fBsha\fR	219
.br
	\fIch\fR	---	letter \fBcze\fR	222
.br
	\fIc\fR	---	letter \fBtse\fR	195
.br
	\fIh\fR	---	letter \fBkha\fR	200
.br
	\fIa\fR	---	letter \fBa\fR	193
.PP
Obviously, in this case, we should proceed first with converting all \fIshch\fR
sequences to \fBshcha\fR letter, then two-character \fIsh\fR
and \fIch\fR, and then single
character \fBc\fR and \fBh\fR.
Generally, for the one-to-one transliteration, the longest
sequences should be precessed first, and the order of conversion within
sequences of the same length makes no difference.
For example, converting the word "shchah" to KOI8 should proceed in a following
way:
.br
	\fIshchah\fR --> (221)\fIah\fR, (221)\fIah\fR --> (221)(193)\fIh\fR, (221)(193)\fIh\fR  --> (221)(193)(200)
.br
There is a multitude of reasons why transliteration is done. I wrote this
program having in mind the following ones:
.br
	1) to print cyrillic text using TeX/LaTeX and cyrillic fonts
.br
	2) to read KOI8 encoded messages from Russia on my ASCII terminal.
.br
However, I was trying to make it flexible to accommodate other uses.
 
.SH PROGRAM OPERATION
The program converts the input file to an output file using
transliteration rules from the transliteration rule file which
you specify with option \fB-t\fR.
Some examples of transliteration rule files are enclosed.
Before program can be used, the transliteration rules need to be specified.
.PP
These are given as a file which consist of the following parts
described below:
.br
.in +2m
.in +5m
.ti -5m
1) File format number (it is 1 at this moment)
.ti -5m
2) Delimiters used to enclose a) simple strings, b) character lists,
c) regular expressions
.ti -5m
3) Starting sequence for output
.ti -5m
4) Ending sequence for output
.ti -5m
5) Number of input "character sets"
.ti -5m
6) SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN sequences for each input character set
.ti -5m
7) Number of output "character sets"
.ti -5m
8) SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN sequences for each output character set
.ti -5m
9) Transliteration table

.in -2m
.PP
\fIGENERAL COMMENTS\fR
.br
The transliteration rules file consists of comments and data.
The comments may be included in the file as:
.in +5m
.ti -2m
a) line comments --- lines starting with ! or # character (# or ! must be
in the first column of a line) are treated as comments and are not
read in by the program.
.ti -2m
b) comments following all required entries on the line. They must be
separated by at least one space from the last data entry on the line
and need not start with any particular character. These comments cannot
be used within multiline sequences.
.br
.in -5m
.PP
The data entries consist of integer numbers and strings.
The strings may represent:
.br
	a) plain strings
.br
	b) character lists
.br
	c) regular expressions
.br
.PP
All strings which appear in the file, are processed through the
"string processor", which allows entering unprintable characters as codes.
The character code is specified as a backslash "\|\\\|" followed by at least
2 digit(s) (i.e., \|\\\|01 produces code=1, but \|\|\\\|1 is passed unchanged). The
following formats are supported:
.br
	\|\\\|0123    character of octal code 123 (when leading zero present)
.br
	\|\\\|123     character of decimal code 123 (when leading digit is not zero)
.br
	\|\\\|0o123  or \|\\\|0O123  character of octal code 123
.br
	\|\\\|0d123  or \|\\\|0D123  character of decimal code 123
.br
	\|\\\|0xA3   or \|\\\|0XA3 or \|\\\|0xa3   character of hexadecimal code A3
.br
.PP
The allowed digits are 0-7 for octal codes, 0-9 for decimal codes and
0-F (and/or 0-f) for hexadecimal codes.
In a situation when code has to be followed by a digit character,
you need to enter the
digit as a code. E.g., if you want character \|\\\|0xA3 followed by a letter C,
you need to specify letter C as a code (\|\\\|0x43 or \|\\\|103 or \|\\\|0o103 or \|\\\|0d67)
and type the sequence as, e.g.,  \|\\\|0xA3\|\\\|103.
Character resulting in a code 0 (zero) (e.g., \|\\\|00) is special. It tells:
"skip everything what follows me in this string".
It does not make sense to use it, since you can always terminate the
sequence with a delimiter. When you use  an empty string as a matching
sequence, remember that it does not match anything.
.sp
If the line with entries is too long, you can break it between the
fields.
If the string is too long to fit a line, you can break it before any nonblank
character by the \|\\\| (backslash) followed by white space (i.e., new lines,
spaces, tabs, etc.). The \|\\\| and the following white space will be removed
from the string by the string preprocessor. However, you are not allowed
to break the individual character codes (and you probably would not
do it ever for aestetic purposes).
For example:
.br
	"experi\\
.br
	mental design"
.br
is equivalent to:
.br
	"experimental design"
.br
while:
.br
	"experimental\\
.br
	design"
.br
is equivalent to:
.br
	"experimentaldesign"
.br
If you need to have \|\\\| followed by a space in your string, you need to
enter either a backslash or a space following it as an explicit character
code, for example:
.br
	"\|\\\|\|\\\|0o40"
.br
will produce a \|\\\| followed by the space, while the string:
.br
	"\|\\\|    "
.br
will be empty.
.sp 1
The preprocessor knows only about comments, plain characters, character codes,
and continuation lines. However, some characters and their combinations
may have a special meaning in lists and regular expressions.
.sp 2
\fIDETAILS OF FILE STRUCTURE\fR
.sp
.PP
.in +3m
.ti -3m
Ad.1) File format number. This is simply a digit 1 on a line by itself at the
moment. This entry is included to allow future extensions of the
transliteration description file without the need to modify older
transliteration descriptions (program will read data according to
the current file format number given in the file).
.sp
.ti -3m
Ad.2) String delimiters. The subsequent 3 lines specify pairs of
single character delimiters for 3 types of text data.
The line format is:
.br
	opening_character    closing_character.
.br
These are needed to mark the beginning/end and the type of the text data.
Each string (text datum) is saved starting from the first character after
opening delimiter, and ends at the last character before the closing
delimiter. If you need to use the closing delimiter within a string,
you need to specify it as its code (e.g., if you are using () pair as
delimiters, specify ")" as \|\\\|0x29). The opening delimiter may be the same
or different from the closing delimiter.
.sp
.in +2m
.ti -2m
a) The first line contains characters used to enclose (bracket)
a \fIplain string\fR. Plain strings are directly matched to input data or
directly sent to output.
I suggest to stick to "  " pair for plain strings.
The ASCII code for " is \|\\\|0d34 = \|\\\|0x22 = \|\\\|0o42 if you need it inside the
string itself.
.sp
.ti -2m
b) The second line contains characters to mark the beginning and the end
of the \fIlist\fR. Lists are used to translate single character codes.
I suggest [ and ] delimiters for the list (ASCII code of "]" is:
\|\\\|0d93 = \|\\\|0x5D = \|\\\|0o135). The lists may include ranges, for example:
[a-zA-Z0-9] will include all Latin letters (small and capital) and digits.
Note that order is important: [a-d] is equivalent to [abcd], while
[d-a] will result in an error. If you want to include "-" (minus) in the
list, you need to place it as the first or the last character. There are only
two special characters on the list, the "-" described above, and the "]"
character. You need to enter the "]" as its code. E.g., for
ASCII character table [*--] is equivalent to [*+,-], is equivalent to
[\|\\\|42\|\\\|43\|\\\|44\|\\\|45]. The order of characters in the list does not matter
unless the input list corresponds to the output list (this will be
explained later). Empty lists do not make sense.
.sp
.ti -2m
c) The third line of delimiter specification contains delimiters for
\fIregular expression\fRs and \fIsubstitution expression\fRs.
These strings are used for "flexible" matches
to the text in the input file. They are very similar to the ones used in
UN*X for searching text in utilities like:  grep, sed, vi, awk, etc., though
only a subset of full UN*X regular expression syntax is used here.
I suggest enclosing them within braces { and } (ASCII code for } is
\|\\\|0d125 = \|\\\|0x7D = \|\\\|0o175). Actually, regular expressions can only
be used for input sequences, and for output sequences the {} are
used to enclose substitution sequences. This will be explained
below. The description of the
syntax for regular/substitution expressions is
adapted from the documentation for the regexp package of Henry
Spencer, University of Toronto --- this regular expression package
was incorporated, after minute modifications, into the program.
.br
.sp 2
.ce
\fBREGULAR EXPRESSION SYNTAX\fR
.br
A regular expression is zero or more branches, separated  by
`\|\||\|\|'.  It matches anything that matches one of the branches.
The `\|\||\|\|' simply means "or".
.ti +2m
A branch is zero or more pieces, concatenated.  It matches a
match  for  the  first,  followed by a match for the second,
etc.
.ti +2m
A piece is an atom possibly followed by `*',  `+',  or  `?'.
An  atom  followed  by  `*'  matches a sequence of 0 or more
matches of the atom.  An atom  followed  by  `+'  matches  a
sequence of 1 or more matches of the atom.  An atom followed
by `?' matches zero or one occurrences of atom.
.ti +2m
An atom is a regular expression in parentheses  (matching  a
match  for the regular expression), a range (see below), `.'
(matching any single  character),  a `\|\\\|'  followed  by
a single character (matching that character), or a
single character with no other significance  (matching  that
character).
.ti +2m
A range is a sequence of characters enclosed  in  `[\|\|]'.   It
normally matches any single character from the sequence.  If
the sequence begins with `^', it matches any single  character
not from the rest of the sequence.  If two characters in
the sequence are separated by `-', this is shorthand for the
full  list  of  ASCII  characters between them (e.g. `[0-9]'
matches any decimal digit).  To include a literal `]' in the
sequence,  make it the first character (following a possible
`^').  To include a literal `-', make it the first  or  last
character. The regular expression can contains subexpressions
which are enclosed in a (\|\|) pair. These subexpressions are numbered
1 to 9 and can be nested. The numbering of subexpressions is
given in the order of their opening parentheses "(". For
example:
.br
.ta        6mL
	(111)...(22(333)222(444)222)...(555)
.br
Note that expression 2 contains within itself expressions 3 and 4.
.br
These subexpressions can be referenced in the substitution string which
is described below in the paragraph below, or can be used to delimit
atoms.
.in +2m
Examples:
.in +2m
.ti -2m
{[\|\\\|0d32\|\\\|0d09]\|\\\|0d10} --- will match space or tab followed by new line
.ti -2m
{[Tt][Ss]} --- will match TS, Ts, tS and ts
.ti -2m
{TS\|\||\|\|Ts\|\||\|\|tS\|\||\|\|ts} --- same as above
.ti -2m
{[\|\\\|0d09-\|\\\|0d15 ][^hH][^uU][a-zA-Z]*[\|\\\|0d09-\|\\\|0d15 ]} --- all words which
do not start with hu, Hu, hU, HU. There is a space between
\|\\\|0d15 and ].
.br
Note that specifying expressions like {.*} (i.e., match all characters)
does not make much sense, since it would mean here: match the whole input
file. However, expressions like {A.*B} should be acceptable, since they
match a pair of A and B, and everything in between them, e.g. for a
string like: "This is Mr. Allen and this is Mr. Brown." this expression
should match the string: "Allen and this is Mr. B".
.br
.in -4m
Remember to put a backslash "\|\\\|" in front of the following
characters: .\|\|[\|\|(\|\|)\|\||\|\|?\|\|+\|\|*\|\|\|\\\| if you want
their literal meaning outside the
range enclosed in [\|\|]. Inside the range they have their literal meaning.
If you know the syntax of UN*X regular expressions, please note that
\|\|^\|\| and \|$\| anchors are not supported and are treated as normal
characters (with the exception of \|\|^\|\| negation within [\|\|]).
.sp
.ce
\fBSUBSTITUTION EXPRESSIONS\fR
.br
After finding a match for a regular expression in the input text,
a substitution is made.
It can be a simple substitution where the whole matching string
is replaced by another string, or it may reuse a portion or
the whole matching string. The subexpressions (the ones enclosed
in parentheses) within the regular
expression which matched the input text can be referenced in the
substitution expression.
Only the following characters have special meaning within substitution
expression:
.in +4m
.ta  3m
.br
.ti -2m
&	--- will put the whole matching string.
.ti -2m
\|\\\|1	--- will put the match for the 1st subexpression in (\|\|).
.ti -2m
\|\\\|2	--- will put the string which matched 2nd subexpression,
etc.
.ti -2m
\|\\\|9	--- will place in a replacement string the 9th
subexpression (provided that there was 9 (\|\|) pairs in
the regular expression)
.in -4m
.sp
Only 9 subexpressions are allowed.
All other characters and sequences within the substitution expression
will be placed in a substitution string as written. To be able to put
a single backslash there, you need to put two of them.
To be able to place the unchanged codes of the
above characters (i.e., to make them literals), you need to precede them
with a backslash "\|\\\|", i.e., to get & in the output string
you need to write it as \|\\\|&. Similarly, to place literal
\|\\\|1, \|\\\|2, etc., you need to enter it as \|\\\|\|\\\|1, \|\\\|\|\\\|2, etc.
Note that characters .+[]()^, etc. which had a special meaning in
the regular expressions, do not have any special meaning in the
substitution expression and will be output as written.
.in +2m
Example:
.br
The regular expression:
.in +2m
.ti -2m
{([Tt])([Ss])} and the corresponding substitution expression {\|\\\|1.\|\\\|2}
puts a period
between adjoining letters t and s preserving their letter case.
.br
The expression:
.ti -2m
{([A-Za-z]+)-[ \|\\\|0x09]*([\|\\\|0x0A-\|\\\|0x0D]+)[ \|\\\|0x09]*([A-Za-z,.?;:"\|\\\|)'`!]+)[ \|\\\|0x09]}
.br
and the substitution expression {\|\\\|1\|\\\|3\|\\\|2} dehyphenate words (when you
understand this one, you are a guru...). For example:
con-   (NL)cert  is changed to concert(NL), where NL stands for New
Line. It looks for one or more letters (saves them as substring 1)
followed by a hyphen (which may be followed by zero or more spaces
or tabs). The hyphen must be followed by a NewLine (ASCII characters
0A-0D hex form various new line sequences) and saves NewLine sequence
as a subexpression 2.
Then it looks for zero or more tabs and spaces (at the beginning of
the line). Then it looks for the rest of the hyphenated word and
saves it as substring 3. The word may have punctuation attached.
Then it looks again for some spaces or tabs. The substitution expression
junks all sequences which were not within (), i.e., hyphen and
spaces/tabs and inserts only substrings but in a different
order. The \|\\\|1 (word beginning) is followed by \|\\\|3 (word end) and
followed by the NewLine --- \|\\\|2. The {\|\\\|2\|\\\|1\|\\\|3} would
be probably equally good, though you would need to  move the punctuation
matching to the beginning of the regular expression.
.in -6m
.ti -3m
Ad.3) Starting sequence. This sequence will be sent to the output before
any text. It is enclosed in the pair of string delimiters. I use it
to output LaTeX preamble. However, it can be empty, if not used.
The (sequence) may contain any characters, including new lines, etc.
.nf
.ta 2m 4m
	Example:
		""          # empty sequence
.sp
	Example:
		"\|\\\|documentstyle{article}
		\|\\\|input cyracc
		\|\\\|begin{document}
		"
	is right (note a new line at the end), but
.br
		"\|\\\|documentstyle{article}
		\|\\\|input cyracc       # this comment will be included!
		\|\\\|begin{document}"   # while this will not
	is wrong.
.sp
.fi
.ti -3m
Ad.4) Ending sequence. Similar to 1), but will be appended at the end of the
output file.
.nf
	For example:
		"\|\\\|end{document}
		"
.fi
.sp
.ti -3m
Ad.5) Number of input character sets. For example, in some incarnation of
KOI7, there are two character sets: Latin and Cyrillic. Cyrillic
character sequence follows SHIFT-OUT character (CTRL-N), \|\\\|0x0e,
and is terminated by SHIFT-IN character (CTRL-O), \|\\\|0x0f.
Another way of looking at it is that Latin characters follow
CTRL-O and  cyrillic ones follow CTRL-N.
.sp
If there is only one character set on input you should specify 0
as a number of input char sets,
since the input file obviously does not contain any SHIFT-OUT/IN
sequences.
.sp
.ti -3m
Ad.6) SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN sequences for each input character set.
These lines appear only if you specified nonzero number of character sets. 
These lines contain also "nesting sequences", which will be
explained later in this section.
You do not use "nesting sequences" frequently, and let us assume
for a moment that nesting data are empty strings.
The strings or regular expressions specified here are matched
with the contents of input text. If match was found, the matching sequence
is usually deleted from the input text and:
.in +4m
.ti -2m
a) for SHIFT-OUT sequence: the current input character set number is changed
to the new one corresponding to the SHIFT-OUT sequence, or
.ti -2m
b) for SHIFT-IN sequence: the previous input character set number is restored,
(i.e., the one which preceded the SHIFT-OUT sequence for the current set).
Note that only the SHIFT-IN sequence for the current set is matched.
The SHIFT-IN sequences for other character sets than the current set are
not matched.
The bracketing of sets is assumed
perfect. If the SHIFT-IN sequence for the current set is an empty string,
the input set number is changed when SHIFT-OUT sequence of the new set
is detected.
.in -4m
For each input character set, you have to specify a line consisting
of 6 strings/expressions separated by spaces:
.br
  SO-match SO-subs NEST-up NEST-down SI-match SI-subs
.br
where:
.br
.in +2m
.ti -2m
SO-match --- the string or regular expression for the SHIFT-OUT sequence
for the current character set. If detected, the input character set is
changed to this set.
.ti -2m
SO-subs --- this is usually an empty string (i.e., the input sequence
matching SO-match is removed). But it can be a replacement string or
a substitution expression, which will substitute the original matching
SHIFT-OUT sequence.
.ti -2m
NEST-up --- this string (or a regular expression) is usually an empty
string). However, it can be used to count brackets for detection of SHIFT-IN
bracket, if SHIFT-IN sequence is not unique. Its use is explained below.
.ti -2m
NEST-down --- a counterpart of NEST-up. It is explained later.
.ti -2m
SI-match --- when a sequence in an input file matches the string or regular
expression given as SI-match for a current input character set, the
input character set number is restored to the previous set. Note, that
only SI-match for a current set is matched with input characters.
.ti -2m
SI-subs --- this is usually an empty string (i.e., input sequence which
matched SI-match is removed), but if it is not, the input characters which
matched the SI-match are replaced with the SI-subs.
.sp
.in -2m
.br
The KOI7 case described above may be specified as:
.nf
.ta 5m  10m  15m 20m 25m
.nf
	2                     # 2 input sets
	""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  # Latin(set 1)
	"\|\\\|016"  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  "\|\\\|017"  ""\0\0\0\0  # Cyrillic(set 2)
	         or
	2                     # 2 sets
	"\|\\\|017"  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  # Latin(set 1)
	"\|\\\|016"  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  # Cyrillic(set 2)
.fi
.br
Before the input is processed, the program is initialized to the character
set of the first set. In the above case, it is important, since declaration:
.nf
	2                     # 2 sets
	"\|\\\|016"  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  # Cyrillic(set 1)
	"\|\\\|017"  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  ""\0\0\0\0  # Latin(set 2)
.br
.fi
would be wrong and would mess up the Latin characters preceding
first Cyrillic sequence.
.sp 1
The nesting sequences are used only for specific situations. I needed them
to write a transliteration table from LaTeX to KOI8.
In LaTeX the { } pair is used for grouping and appears frequently in
the text. The sequence of cyrillic characters is also a group
in LaTeX.
The SHIFT-OUT sequence for Russian letters in LaTeX is (at least in
my case): "{\|\\\|cyr ", and the end
of the Russian letters is marked by "}", but the "}" has to be the
bracket matching the opening "{" in "{\|\\\|cyr ",  not just any bracket.
For this reason, my SHIFT-OUT/IN entry was in this case:
.br
	"{\|\\\|cyr "  ""  "{"  "}"  "}"  ""   # Cyrillic codes
.br
Whenever the "{\|\\\|cyr " was found, the program zeroes the counter.
It adds +1 to it, when NEST-up sequence (i.e., the "{" here) is found, and
subtracts 1 from it, when the NEST-down sequence is found (i.e., the "}").
The checking for a SHIFT-IN sequence (i.e., the "}") for cyrillic set
is done only when
the counter value is zero (i.e., all pairs inside the cyrillic text are
matched. In fact, the process is more
complicated than that (the counter for an opened character set is
placed on the stack), but these are details you can find in the code
itself.
.br
What if the SHIFT-IN and SHIFT-OUT sequence is the same character?
Starting from version 1.01 the TRANSLIT will also work in such cases.
Let us assume that the SHIFT-IN and SHIFT-OUT sequence is a single
character "%" which switches between two character sets. Also,
if we want to use it in the text, we have to double it,
i.e., "%%" will not be a SHIFT-IN/OUT sequence but will denote a literal
percent sign. We can do it in the following way:
.br
	""       ""    ""  ""  ""       ""       # Latin letters
.br
	{%([^%])}  {\|\|\\\|\|1}  ""  ""  {%([^%])} {\|\|\\\|\|1}  # Cyrillic codes
.br
and later in the transliteration table (see below) we should put a line:
.br
	0    "%%"      0    "%"       # change doubled % to a single one
.br
The same effect, for identical SHIFT-IN/OUT sequences, can be accomplished
with a -3 character set code and will be described below.
.sp
.ti -3m
Ad.7) Number of output "character sets". This is analogous to the input case.
The characters sent to output may belong to different sets. For example,
when the character (or the sequence) from set 2 is followed by the character
(or the sequence) from set 1,
the program first sends the SHIFT-IN sequence for set 2 (if it is not
empty) and then the SHIFT-OUT sequence for set 1 (if it is not empty). If the
output character (or sequence) is assigned to set 0, then no SHIFT-IN/SHIFT-OUT
sequences are sent to output.
.br
If there is only one set of output characters, you should specify 0.
Note that you may have several input sets and several output sets, though
this is rare. Usually, you have one input set and many
output character sets, or vice versa. Again, if you have only one output set,
you do not have any SHIFT-IN/SHIFT-OUT sequences, since those are
send to output only when a set number is changed.
But you are free to experiment.
.sp
.ti -3m
Ad.8) SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN sequences for each output character set. It is
similar to the input case, however, the NEST-in and NEST-up sequences
are not used here. Again, before any text is sent to output, the
character set specified as the first one is assumed. If SHIFT-OUT/IN
sequences are not used (i.e., you have only one output character set),
you will not have any SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN data lines.
The KOI8 (single character set containing all Latin and Russian letters)
to KOI7 (the set using overlapping codes switched by SHIFT-OUT/IN sequences)
conversion could be therefore accomplished by the following table:
.br
	2		# 2 output sets
.br
	""\0\0\0\0	""\0\0\0\0	# Latin Letters
.br
	"\|\\\|016"	"\|\\\|017"	# Russian Letters
case
.sp
.ti -3m
Ad.9) Transliteration table for individual character or their sequences.
It is a core of your transliteration data.
There are 4 columns in the transliteration
table:
.br
.in +3m
(inp_set_no) (inp_seq) (out_set_no) (out_seq)
.br
.in -3m
These 4 columns are separated by spaces. The (input_set_number)
corresponds to the input character set number as specified above for
input SHIFT-OUT/SHIFT-IN data, or zero.
If zero is used (even if number of input sets is not zero), the
(input_sequence) will be always matched, irrespectively of the current
input character set imposed by the SHIFT-OUT sequence. This is useful,
since some characters are universal (e.g., new lines, spaces, pluses,
minuses, etc.) irrespectively of the current character set.
The (input_sequence) is the sequence of characters to be matched with
characters in the input file, and if found (within the character set
specified) it is replaced by the (output_sequence) and sent to output
(i.e., the matching is interrupted, the (output_sequence) sent to ouput,
the input file pointer is moved to the first character after the
matched sequence and matching resumes).
The (output_set_number) specifies the output character set. When the
output character set changes during transliteration, the appropriate SHIFT-IN
sequence of the previous set and the current set's SHIFT-OUT sequence is sent
to output. The (output_set_number) may also be zero (even if number of
output sets is not zero). In this case, the current output set status
is not changed, and no SHIFT-IN/OUT sequences is sent to output. Lastly, the
output set code may be -1, -2 or -3.
In this case, the substitution is performed
within input string that matched but the output sequence is not sent to
the output yet. Depending on the code, the following action is performed:
.in +4m
.ti -2m
-1  --- program makes the substitution in the input string (i.e., substitutes
the matching string with the input string in the input buffer).
It does not send the output sequence to the output, but
continues matching  input sequences following the currently
matched one.
.ti -2m
-2  --- like code -1, but matching is resumed from the first sequence on
the list.
.ti -2m
-3  --- like code -1, but matching is resumed from the input SHIFT-OUT/IN
sequences.
.in -4m
E.g., if the unprocessed text in the input file is:
.br
	mental procedure was not successful since..........
.br
and there was a line in transliteration table:
.br
	0  "me"   -1  "you"
.br
the input text would be changed to:
.br
	yountal procedure was not successful since..........
.br
and all remaining matching data would be applied to this text, rather than
original text.
The -2 code backsteps to the point where the matching of
transliteration starts.
The -3 code backsteps even further, to the point where the
input SHIFT-OUT and SHIFT-IN sequences are matched.
Since the order of sequences to match
is crucial here, for the case of output set code -1/-2/-3
even one-character input sequences are matched in the order specified.
BE CAREFUL HERE. You may create infinite loops. If you use
code -2/-3, be sure that the resulting sequence after substitution
with the code -2/-3, will not match previous sequences
with codes -2/-3.
.br
The (output_sequence)
is a sequence which substitutes the corresponding (input_sequence).
If (output_sequence) is "" (i.e., empty string) then (input_sequence)
is effectively deleted.
The (input_sequence)s are compared with input in the order specified
unless backstepping -2/-3 code is used (the matching is done from the
first sequence again). I use the code -1 e.g.,
to dehyphenate words when changing to LaTeX.
Code -2 is useful if you want to skip next comparisons, and the resulting
substitution string will match earlier matching expressions.
I do not see many uses for the code -3, but it can be used to resolve
"toggle" SHIFT-IN/OUT sequence, as described in an example further
below.
The order for multicharacter sequences is
therefore important (the single character sequences are always compared
after all multicharacter sequences, and can be therefore put anywhere).
The longer multicharacter sequences should be specified before
shorter ones, unless they are some "preprocessing" steps with codes
-1/-2/-3. The order may sometimes be crucial.
If you need single character sequences matched in a specific order,
enter them as regular expressions, i.e., as {c} instead of "c".
In short, the multicharacter input sequences and regular expressions
are matched to input text in the order specified. For the sake of
efficiency, the single character input sequences (with exception of
output set code -1/-2/-3) and input lists are handled as a case of remapping
and are matched in the order of character codes associated with them.
If you specify the same single input character twice for a given input set,
the program will complain.
The following combinations of input and output sequences are allowed:
.nf
.ta 2m 24m
	Input Sequence	Output Sequence
	"\fIplain string\fR"	only "\fIplain string\fR"
	[\fIlist\fR]	[\fIlist\fR] or "\fIplain string\fR"
	{\fIregular expression\fR}	{\fIsubstitution expression\fR} or
.br
		 "\fIplain string\fR"
.br
.fi
When match is found, the matching sequence is removed and substituted
with an output sequence. If this results is changing the current output
character set, the appropriate SHIFT-IN/SHIFT-OUT pair is sent to the
output before the transliterated output sequence. If list is
used as the input sequence, you may either use:
.br
.in +2m
.ti -2m
a) plain string as output
sequence. In this case, if current input character belongs to the input list,
it is replaced by the output string. I use it to delete ranges of
characters which do not have any corresponding characters in the output
set (e.g., some graphics characters). In this case, the order of
characters on the input list is not important.
.ti -2m
b) if the output string is also a
list then it has to contain exactly the same number of characters as
the input list. In this case, the 1st character from the input list
is replaced by the 1st character from the output list, the 2nd one
by the 2nd one, etc. Therefore, the order of characters is important.
.br
.in -2m
Theoretically, if there is one-to-one correspondence between characters
in the input set and characters in the output set,
you can make the conversion by
using a single line consisting of two lists. But it looks ugly... And is
difficult to read.
And for the program, the substitution takes the same time, if
the characters are specified separately, or when they are specified
as matching lists.
If regular expression is used to match the input characters, the matching
sequence may be replaced by a plain string or a substitution string,
which was described above.
.in +3m
Examples:
.br
.ta 3m 10m  20m 30m  40m
	2	"CCCP"	0	""\0\0\0\0
.br
will delete all occurrences of CCCP from the input file (but not Cccp or
CCCp) for input set 2.
.sp 1
	0	"\|\\\|0xD1"	0	"ya"
.br
will replace all occurrences of character of the code \|\\\|0xD1 with a two
letter sequence "ya".
.sp 1
	0	\|\\\|0xD1	2	q
.br
will replace all characters \|\\\|0xD1 with a character "q" and output
SHIFT-IN/OUT sequence if necessary.
.sp 1
	2	"q"	0	"\|\\\|0xD1"
.br
will replace letter q (if the current input set is 2) with a code \|\\\|0xD1.
.sp 1
	0	"\|\\\|0xD1"	2	"ya"
.br
will replace code \|\\\|0xD1 with a sequence ya (assuming that SHIFT-OUT
and SHIFT-IN sequences
for output set 2 are: {\|\\\|cyr and }, respectively, you will get {\|\\\|cyr ya}).
.sp
If a character is not specified in the transliteration table, it will
be output as is, i.e., it corresponds to a line:
.br
	0	"c"	0	"c"
.br
where c is the character. If you want to delete certain characters, you
need to explicitly specify this, e.g.:
.br
	0	[a-z]	0	""
.br
will delete all lower case Latin letters from the text.
.br
Below is an example of solving the identical SHIFT-IN/OUT sequences problem
using character set code -3 which I promissed above. Assume, that you
have 2 character sets in the input file, but switching between them is
accomplished by a "toggle" character. That is, if the toggle character is
found, you should switch to the other set. Also, if you want to use the
toggle character in the set, you need to double it. Let also assume that
we have 2 character codes which will never, ever appear. We can fool the
translit by changing toggle character to a unique character and backstepping
with character code -3 to check for SHIFT-IN/OUT sequences again. Let the
% sign be a toggle character, and that we have two codes (for example codes
\|\|\\\|\|254 and \|\|\\\|\|255) which will never appear in our text.
The appropriate entries in the transliteration table may look like:
.br
	1   {%([^%])}     -3     {\|\|\\\|\254\|\|\\\|\|1}
.br
	2   {%([^%])}     -3     {\|\|\\\|\255\|\|\\\|\|1}
.br
	0   "%%"         0     "%"
.br
i.e., when the single % is seen in set 1, produce SHIFT-OUT sequence
for set 2; and when a single % is seen in set 2, produce SHIFT-IN
sequence for set 1. The appropriate input character set definitions will be:
.br
	2               # number of input character sets
.br
	"\|\|\\\|\|255"   ""    ""    ""    ""  ""
.br
	"\|\|\\\|\|254"   ""    ""    ""    ""  ""
.br
However, be warned. I never tried this. If this trick does not work,
please let me know.

.SH INSTALLATION
Program is given in a source form. It was tried under UN*X, VMS and
MS-DOS systems and ran. The file \fIreadme.doc\fR contains the details
on how to obtain the whole package. You can retrieve this file
from anonymous ftp on www.ccl.net in the directory /pub/russian/translit.
You can also obtain it via e-mail by sending a message:
.br
	get translit/readme.doc from russian
.br
to OSCPOST@ccl.net or OSCPOST@OHSTPY.BITNET.
.sp
The source of the program consists of several files:
.br
.IP  \fIpaths.h\fR
must be edited before compilation. It contains its
own comments what to do. The defines in this file relate to the operating
system you are using and the default path for searching transliteration
table.
.br
.IP \fItranslit.c\fR
It contains the main program.
This was intended to be a portable code.
.br
.IP \fIreg_exp.h\fR
the include file for regular expression matching
library of Henry Spencer from the University of Toronto. This regular
expression package was posted to comp.sources.misc (volume 3). Also 4 patches
were posted (in volumes: 3, 4, 4, 10). I applied the patches to the original
code and made small modifications to the code, which are marked in the
source code.
.br
.IP \fIreg_exp.c\fR
the regular expression library for compilation and
matching of regular expressions.
.br
.IP \fIreg_sub.c\fR
the regular expression substitution routine.
.br
.sp
.PP
Before you compile this program you have to edit \fIpaths.h\fR.
Read comments in the file.
During compilation, all source code should reside in the
current directory.
.br
Then you may compile the program under UN*X as (for example):
.br
	cc -o translit translit.c reg_exp.c reg_sub.c
.br
and copy the program \fItranslit\fR to some standard directory which is
in users' path (for example: /usr/local/bin). Then you need to copy
transliteration tables to the directory which you have chosen in \fIpaths.h\fR.
If you get errors, then it is not OK. Please, report them to the author (with
all the gory details: error message, line number, machine, operating system,
etc.).
.sp
Under VMS (VAXes) you need to compile it as:
.br
	cc translit
.br
	cc reg_exp
.br
	cc reg_sub
.br
	link translit+reg_exp+reg_sub,sys$library:vaxcrtl/lib
.br
and before you can use the program, you need to type (or better put into your
LOGIN.COM file) a line:
.br
	translit == "$SYS$USER:[ME.TRA]TRANSLIT.EXE"
.br
or whatever is the full path to the \fItranslit\fR executable image which
you created with LINK. Note the quotes and the $ sign in front of program
path.

.SH RULES, CONDITIONS AND AUTHOR'S WHISHES
You can distribute this code and associated files under these conditions:
.br
.in +4m
.ti -2m
  1) You will distribute all files (even if you
think that they are garbage). You may get the complete set from anonymous
ftp at www.ccl.net in /pub/russian/translit. You can also get the program
and associated files via e-mail. To get the instructions for e-mail
distribution send a line:
.br
       send translit/readme.doc from russian
.br
to OSCPOST@ccl.net or OSCPOST@OHSTPY.BITNET.
You are not allowed to distribute the incomplete distribution. The following
files should be present in the distribution:
.ta 2m 22n
.nf
	alt-gos.rus	- ALT to GOSTCII table
	alt-koi8.rus	- ALT to KOI8 table

  2) You may expand/change the files and the program and distribute modified
files, provided that you do
not delete anything (you can always comment the unnecessary portions out)
and clearly mark your changes. Please send the copy of the modified
version to the author, though you are not required to do so.
I will give you all the credit for your enhancements. I simply wish that
there is a single point of distribution for this code, so it is maintained
to some extent. If you create additional transliteration definition files,
please, send them to the author if you may. I will add them to the program
distribution. I want to fix bugs and expand/optimize this code,
but I need your help.
I need your transliteration files for languages which I do not know or
do not use currently.
Your suggestions for improving documentation are most welcome (I am not
a native English speaker).
.ti -2m
3) You will not charge money for the program and/or associated files,
except for media and copying costs. If you want to sell it, contact the author
first. Bear in mind
that the regular expression package by Henry Spencer has some
copyright restrictions.
But there are other regular expression packages which do not have these
restrictions (which are not violated by this offering).
.ti -2m
4) I will gladly help you with advice on compiling this software and
try to fix bugs when time allows. However, if you want a ready to run
executable, you need to order it for a very nominal fee from
\fIJKL ENTERPRISES, INC.\fR as described in the file \fIorder.txt\fR
which must be a part of a complete distribution.
