Does anyone know if there exists a TECkit mapping for Beta Code? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_code>
I've found the betababel package, which I assume uses some single- byte encoding, and am aware, though challenged to handle, that some workaround to handle '\#=' as a text characters is needed; any help in this regard would be much appreciated. What I got are non-LaTeX plaintext files (which I'd like to not need to retype manually at all) written with Greek in uppercase Beta Code and Latin-script text (mostly English but some German and French quotes) written in lowercase with Beta Code conventions for uppercase letters and diacritics, plus the ad hoc '**' for literal asterisks, moreover it uses 'v' and 'j' for digamma and jod in reconstructed forms, and the non-Beta Code conventions '_' for macron, and TeX-like '--' for dash. I'm really suspecting that I'd be better off prefiltering the sources with some ad hoc (computer) script before marking them up, am I not? /bpj -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
