[sword-devel] Encoded transliterations?

[David Haslam]

I think there may be a gap in our documentation...

Are spaces permitted in the attribute values for [Encoded Transliterations](https://wiki.crosswire.org/OSIS_Bibles#Marking_encoded_transliterations)?

The example given is

xlit="Latn:b_raShit"

Is that low line character an intentional replacement for a space?

Would it fail OSIS validation if a space were to be used?

Also, what governs the prefix "Latn:" ?
Are other scripts also a possibility, such as transliteration into Cyrillic?

If a transliteration scheme other than the one defined by libICU is chosen, must the scheme be named in either the OSIS header and/or the module .conf file?

- e.g. RTGS = Royal Thai General System of Transcription

If so, then how?

Best regards,

David
