Cologne standard IAST extension

[funderburkjim]

In recent work with MD dictionary IAST, several improvements to the Cologne extension to IAST standard were made.
Since the intercoding between slp1 and iast is relevant to many dictionaries, some documentation of this work is done in the iast directory of this repository.

• slp1_roman.xml contains the rules for transcoding from slp1 to roman (iast)
• roman_slp1.xml contains the rules for transcoding from roman (iast) to slp1.
• slp1_iast.txt contains a more readable form of the two transliterations.

consistency

These two xml transcoding rule files should be kept consistent with similarly named files in:

• csl-apidev repository
• csl-websanlexicon repository.

accent copy-paste

There are sometimes multiple visually indistinguishable unicode representations for Latin letters with diacritics.
For example, the letter a with acute (udatta) accent can be represented either by

• the preformed unicode code point \u00e1 Latin Small Letter A with Acute
• the two-character sequence \u0061\u0301 Latin small letter A + COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT

When it is needed to correct any iast in a text file, then it is advised to copy-paste
from the slp1_iast.txt file. This practice will aid in providing consistent coding
throughout the various dictionaries.

I thought you'd zeroed on having accents before visarga & anusvara.

Did you change your mind to keep the accents after , subsequently?
