TECkit (Text Encoding Conversion toolkit) is a toolkit for converting data
|
|
between 8-bit legacy encodings and Unicode. It can also be used for
|
|
transliteration of Unicode between different scripts.
|
|
|
|
TECkit uses a mapping description language (mapping byte encodings to Unicode).
|
|
Mapping rules can be extended by (1) the use of character sequences rather than
|
|
single characters on either side; (2) by the addition of contextual constraints
|
|
(environments) determining when a rule should apply; (3) and by the use of
|
|
character classes, optional and repeatable elements, grouping and alternation
|
|
to express more complex patterns to be matched and processed.
|
|
|
|
TECkit is particularly useful with XeTeX (Unicode-aware derivate of TeX).
|
|
|
|
The following binaries are provided:
|
|
|
|
teckit_compile mapping compiler that allows binary mapping tables (.tec)
|
|
to be built from TECkit description files (.map)
|
|
sfconv a tool for converting Standard Format (SF) files
|
|
txtconv a utility to apply TECkit mappings to plain-text files
