+% This work consists of the files itrans-dvn.map, itrans-dvn.tec,
+% itrans-kan.map, itrans-kan.tec, itrans-sankan.map, itrans-sankan.tec,
+% and README.
+
+The following files are mappings that can be used with XeLaTeX for codings
+done in the ITRANS format. In each instance, the *.map file is the actual
+(ASCII) mapping, while the *.tec file is the compiled version used by the
+software.
+
+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-sankan: This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS
+ of Sanskrit texts, where the output is desired in Kannada
+ script.
+
+itrans-san: This mapping should be used with codings done in ITRANS
+ of Kannada texts, where the output is desired in Kannada
+ script.
+
+Note that `e' and `o' get mapped to the long-vowels with itrans-sankan, but to
+the short vowels in itrans-kan (where `E' and `O' are needed for the long
+vowels).
+
+To use these mappings, insert one 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=itrans-sankan]{<fontname>}}
+
+\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
+ \catcode`\~=11
+ \fontspec[Script=Kannada,Mapping=itrans-kan]{<fontname>}}
+
+\newcommand\abc{\catcode`\^=11
+ \catcode`\~=11
+ \fontspec[Script=Devanagari,Mapping=itrans-dvn]{<fontname>}}
+
+Replace `abc' by the desired macro name, and <fontname> by the name of an
+appropriate Unicode font in that script. 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.
+
+\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}

+\usepackage{ifxetex}
+\RequireXeTeX
+\usepackage{xltxtra}
+
+\setlength{\parindent}{0mm}

+\newcommand\ked{\catcode`\^=11
