Switching from Devanāgarī to Roman with a single command
I have to admit even I am startled by the success of this.
In the input file below, I changed the single command:
In the input file below, I changed the single command:
A minimal edition of a Sanskrit verse, using XeLaTeX and Ledmac
And here's the input for the above (tested and working in September 2019):
\documentclass{book}
% Set up things for XeLaTeX, and Devanagari.
% Simplified version of http://cikitsa.blogspot.com/2010/07/xelatex-for-sanskrit.html
\usepackage{polyglossia} % the multilingual support package
% Next, from the polyglossia manual:
\setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit} % this is mostly going to be Sanskrit,
\setotherlanguage{french} % with some French embedded in it,
\setotherlanguage{english} % and some English.
% These will call appropriate hyphenation.
\usepackage{xltxtra} % standard for nearly all XeLaTeX documents
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text} % ditto
\setmainfont{Gandhari Unicode} % could be any Unicode font
% Now define the Devanagari font:
% John Smith's Sahadeva, input using standard UTF8 transliteration
\newfontfamily\sanskritfont [Script=Devanagari,Mapping=RomDev]{Sahadeva}
% Now come the commands for the critical edition formatting:
\usepackage[noeledmac]{ledmac} %"noeledmac" stops some annoying messages
% customizations to Ledmac, and macros to make life easier.
\def\Variant#1{\Afootnote{\relax#1}}
\def\Lemma#1{\lemma{\relax#1}}
\let\Reference=\Bfootnote
\let\Grammatical=\Cfootnote
\let\Tibetan=\Dfootnote
% in a real edition, I'd probably also make
% abbreviations for \textfrench (perhaps \tf) etc.
\def\Omission#1{$\langle$#1$\rangle$}
\def\ScribalDeletion#1{{\rm[\kern-.15em[}#1{\rm]\kern-.15em]}}
\def\hardspace{\texttt{\char`\ }}
\def\And{{\rm\penalty-1\quad$\mid\mid$~}} % divider between variants to the same lemma
% more customizations: make the A notes
% (\Variants and \Lemmas)into two-column format,
% and make the B notes (\Reference) normal footnotes.
%
% changes to stuff cut-and-pasted from ledmac.sty:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\twocolfootfmt}[3]{%
\normal@pars
% \hsize .45\hsize
\hsize .49\hsize
\parindent=0pt

Critical edition typesetting
Some years ago, John Lavagnino and I wrote the EDMAC
software for typesetting critical editions. EDMAC was an application for use with plain TeX. Later, adaptations were made to allow EDMAC to work with LaTeX etc. More recently, the ConTeXt package, also based on TeX, has been developing methods for handling critical edition typesetting.
Idris Hamid, Colorado State University, recently gave this talk at the TUG 2007 conference, San Diego, about doing critical editions using ConTeXt.
