Description : latex support for devanagari and transliterated sanskrit
Latex-sanskrit consists of a preprocessor and fonts to display Sanskrit
in LaTeX documents. The Sanskrit text can be displayed either
transliterated or in devanagari script, including vedic accents. Sanskrit
is entered as argument to LaTeX macros, so it is still possible to use the
inputenc package to get yet another encoding mixed with the text (for
example, ISO-8859-1 with latin accents).
The fonts include over a thousand consonant ligatures, and the
documentation has a Samyoga table telling from where each ligature was
taken (Panini, Coulson, and other fonts). All fonts (devanagari and
transliterated) are available in standard, bold and italic faces, and
the spacing between devanagari characters may be adjusted.

However, his work is excellent, and makes typesetting Sanskrit very
easy; the fonts included look very good; the package has excellent
documentation. At least for me, makes Unicode irrelevant.
There are only a few details in the C program that are rather easy to fix:
while(strlen(infilename) == 0)
{ printf("Input file: "); scanf(infilename); }
printf("Output file: ");
scanf(outfilename);
This may loop forever if compiled with gcc-3.3, and can be fixed by
including the format string in scanf (but it would actually be better to check
the program and eliminate the possibility for buffer overflows).
The other problems are a few unused variables and the declaration of
main().

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 272173
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
272173@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the second massive wnpp closing that is being done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 365 days and finally, an automatic
script will close, by default, *inactive* RFPs when they reach one year of
inactivity.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
