The following files are mappings that can be used with XeLaTeX for
codings done in the ITRANS and Baraha formats.  In each instance, the
*.map file is the actual (ASCII) mapping, while the *.tec file is the
compiled version used by the software.

The itrans-tel mapping is by Kattamuri Ekanadham.

brh-kan:       This mapping should be used with codings done in Baraha,
               where the output is desired in Kannada script.

itrans-dvn:    This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS, 
               where the output is desired in Devanagari script.  The
               codings are typically, but not necessarily, of Sanskrit
               texts (they could also be, e.g., Hindi or Marathi).

itrans-sdvn:   This mapping is very similar to the above, but does not
               need the use of a vowel `a' at the ends of words; thus,
               `rAm' can be used rather than `rAma'.

itrans-iast:   This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS,
	       where the output is desired in accented Roman (IAST)
	       script.

itrans-kan:    This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS
               of Kannada texts, where the output is desired in Kannada
               script.

itrans-sankan: This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS
               of Sanskrit texts, where the output is desired in Kannada
               script.

itrans-santel: This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS
	       of Sanskrit texts, where the output is desired in Telugu
	       script.

itrans-tamil:  This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS
               of Tamil texts, where the output is desired in Tamil
               script.

itrans-tel:    This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS 
               of Telugu texts, where the output is desired in Telugu
               script.

Note that `e' and `o' get mapped to the long-vowels with itrans-sankan
and in itrans-santel, but to the short vowels in itrans-kan and
itrans-tel (where `E' and `O' are needed for the long vowels).

To use these mappings, insert one or more of the following sets of
lines in your *.tex files after the \documentclass command and
appropriate other includes and settings.

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Kannada,Mapping=brh-kan]{<fontname>}}   

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Devanagari,Mapping=itrans-dvn]{<fontname>}}   

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Devanagari,Mapping=itrans-sdvn]{<fontname>}} 

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Roman,Mapping=itrans-iast]{<fontname>}}

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Kannada,Mapping=itrans-kan]{<fontname>}}

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Kannada,Mapping=itrans-sankan]{<fontname>}}

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Mapping=itrans-santel]{<fontname>}}

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
            \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Tamil,Mapping=itrans-tamil]{<fontname>}}

\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Mapping=itrans-tel]{<fontname>}}

Replace `abc' by the desired macro name, and <fontname> by the name of
an appropriate Unicode font in that script (e.g., Sanskrit 2003 for
Devanagari, Kedage for Kannada, Pothana for Telugu).

The following is a small example using the Kannada `Kedage' font.
Save the following as a *.tex file; if your installation and settings
(including fonts) are correct, it will compile and produce a proper
PDF output.  (See itrans-tamil-sample.tex and itrans-tamil-sample.pdf
for a Tamil usage example.)

\newcommand\ked{\catcode`\^=11
           \catcode`\~=11
           \fontspec[Script=Kannada,Mapping=itrans-sankan]{Kedage}}
