+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\chapter{System Features}
+
+\section{Scope of \MonTeX}
+
+\MonTeX\ is a package which offers support for writing documents in
+Mongolian, Manju, Buryat and Russian. Mongolian can be represented
+in traditional Uighur script (also known as Classical or Traditional
+Script) and Cyrillic. Manju resembles the Traditional Mongolian script
+(from which it is derived) but uses a rich choice of diacritics in
+order to eliminate numerous ambiguities of the Mongolian script
+ancestor. Modern Buryat, like Mongolian in its present form, is written
+with a Cyrillic alphabet, but both Mongolian (35 letters) and Buryat
+(36 letters) use more letters than Russian (33 letters).
+
+\subsection{Mongolian}
+
+The word \emph{Mongolian} is actually an umbrella term for
+several languages rather than the precise name of a single language.
+Things become more complicated when names of ethnic groups, languages
+and writing systems are mixed.
+\begin{description}
+ \item [Xalx] or Khalkha is the name of the Mongolian
+ nationality residing in Mongolia proper. Their
+ dialect forms the basis of Mongolian written with
+ Cyrillic letters. Throughout this text, \emph{Modern
+ Mongolian} is used as a synonym.
+ \item [Buryat]
+ is the name of the Mongolian nationality
+ residing in Buryatia, north of Mongolia, east of
+ Lake Baikal, being a part of the Russian Federation.
+ The Buryat call themselves \emph{Buryaad} while Xalx
+ Mongolians call them \emph{Buriad}. The English name
+ follows the Russian orthography.
+ Linguistically, Xalx and Buryat Mongol are fairly
+ close languages; Buryat has a slightly different
+ sound system in which the phoneme /s/ partially
+ shifted to /h/; the modern Buryat Cyrillic alphabet
+ (virtually identical with the Cyrillic alphabet used
+ for writing Modern Mongolian) has one additional
+ letter (H/h, \xalx{H/h}) for marking the difference to /s/.
+ \enlargethispage*{1ex}
+ \item [Bicig] (literally \emph{script} in Mongolian) denotes
+ text written in the traditional Mongolian script
+ which is also referred to as Uighur. Throughout this
+ document, the term \emph{Bicig} will be used on an
+ equal footing with \emph{Classical} and
+ \emph{Traditional} Mongolian. The latter term is
+ used in the name of the Unicode/ISO10646 character
+ plane U1800 which contains Mongolian, Manju, Sibe
+ and sets of special characters called Ali Gali or
+ Galig. In order to identify Mongolian script related
+ commands distinct for Mongolian and Manju, the
+ Mongolian commands have the name root \texttt{bicig}
+ whereas the Manju commands have the name root
+ \texttt{bithe}.
+\end{description}
+
+Xalx Mongolian, or Modern Colloquial Mongolian, is about as
+different from the form written in Classical script as modern
+English in phonetical spelling (assume it be written in Shavian
+letters) from the highly historical orthography of Standard English.
+Beyond these differences, Mongolian written in Classical Script
+usually preserves a substantial amount of historical grammatical
+features which make it look a bit like Elizabethan English.
+
+
+\subsection{Manju}
+
+Manju is a Tungusic language closely related to Mongolian. Though
+Manju is virtually not spoken anymore, it has been the official
+language during 300 years of Manju government in Qing Dynasty China.
+Vast amounts of official documents survive, as well as some of the
+finest multilingual dictionaries ever compiled, e.\,g. the
+Pentaglot, or Mirror in Five Languages, a dictionary with 18671
+entries in five languages (Manju, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uighur and
+Chinese). Manju writing is derived from Uighur Mongolian by adding
+diacritics in the form of dots and circles.
+
+\section{\MonTeX\ Implementation Levels}
+
+During several years of developing \MonTeX, the desired capabilities
+of a software package serving the described scope were classified and
+implemented along four Implementation Levels which have the following,
+well-defined properties:
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{rl}
+Implementation& Features\\
+ Level & \\\hline
+I & Modern Mongolian in Cyrillic Script and Buryat\\
+II & I and Mongolian script in LR mode horizontal\\
+IIa & II and Mongolian script portions in LR mode vertical\\
+III & II and Mongolian script text in horizontal RL mode\\
+IV & III and Mongolian script text printed vertically \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+Implementation Level I is good for producing documents in Modern
+Mongolian; Implementation Level II adds support for words and lines of
+Classical Mongolian embedded in other (Cyrillic and Latin) scripts which
+is essentially useful for dictionaries etc.; Implementation Level IIa
+allows single words to be placed in vertical capsules; Implementation
+Level III allows the composition of purely Classical Mongolian documents
+while Implementation Level IV finally allows the combination of both
+scripts in freely assignable quantities and locations within the document.
+
+Mongolian linguistic culture provides a perplexing richness of
+writing systems of varying regional, historical and socio-political
+importance. Developing a Mongolian system which covers \emph{all}
+documented writing systems is tantamount to writing a Mongolian
+Babel system and cannot be done in a truly elegant manner with
+respect to the current \LaTeXe\ limitations.
+
+% Full ISO 10646/Unicode character set support is one desideratum, the
+% free switching of all sorts of writing directions in the document is
+% another cornerstone of success.
+
+\section{Requirements and Limitations}
+
+In order to run \MonTeX\ a recent version of \LaTeXe\ is necessary.
+\MonTeX\ relies on the NFSS font selection mechanism and the
+ligature capacities of Metafont. This package has not been tested
+under \LaTeX2.09 and will most certainly not function satisfactorily
+under that environment. Depending on the implementation level,
+further software support becomes necessary since not all features
+can be realized smoothly in \LaTeXe\ alone.
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{r|l}
+Implementation Level & Requirements \\\hline
+I & A working \LaTeXe\ system\\
+II & A working \LaTeXe\ system\\
+IIa & like II, plus PostScript support\\
+III & like II, plus functional \texttt{TeX--XeT} system\\
+IV & like III, plus PostScript support \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+The e\TeX\ (available for DOS and UNIX based computers alike) system
+provides full Right-to-Left writing support; e\TeX\ and e\LaTeXe\ are
+part of all modern \TeX\ implementations for the majority of
+operating systems\footnote{%
+ It is also possible to build an e\TeX\ system from scratch
+ using the \texttt{web2c} (or teTeX) sources, replacing
+ \texttt{tex.web} with \texttt{tex--xet.web} and \texttt{tex.ch}
+ with \texttt{tex--xet.ch}.}.
+
+Post\-Script support is a standard feature of most UNIX installations
+and is also supplied with most of the available \TeX\ for Windows
+distributions%
+ \footnote{The authors used Linux (Red Hat 4.2 through 7.1) systems
+ for the developing work; on the same hardware, PostScript
+ under Windows\emph{xx} is significantly slower
+ than under Linux; this holds true for document and
+ font compilation as well.}.
+
+A word of warning is necessary here. \MonTeX\ is not a small,
+convenient system which can be used without any effort. Much like
+its very foundation \LaTeX\ it requires some willingness to study
+a few (and indeed simple) rules; occasionally one or the other old
+habit has to be overcome. The reward is text typeset in excellent
+quality so that scholarly achievement no longer disappears in badly
+typeset documents.
+
+
+\section{PostScript Support\label{PostScriptSupport}}
+
+PostScript is used for creating vertical capsules of text within
+horizontal text for \MonTeX\ implementation levels IIa as well as
+for complete pages with implementation level IV. This requires the
+presence of the \texttt{rotating} package for \LaTeX\ which itself
+relies on the \texttt{graphics} package. The \texttt{rotating} and
+\texttt{graphics} packages come with teTeX but do not come with
+emtex. They can be found at CTAN.
+
+Besides the above-mentioned packages it is necessary that the
+generated \texttt{.dvi} files can be processed further, e.\,g. by
+\texttt{dvips} which generates a PostScript file out of a
+\texttt{.dvi} file. If there is no PostScript printer at your site,
+PostScript emulation is necessary which is usually provided by
+GhostScript and GhostView. Implementations of these systems are
+available for a large number of operating systems and can also be
+found at CTAN. Linux, a free UNIX system, comes which GhostScript,
+and the \texttt{winemtex} distribution of \LaTeX\ includes GhostScript
+as well.
+A sample command sequence to produce and preview a document with these
+utilities can be found in illustration~\ref{figure:RunExampleTeTeX}.
+
+\begin{figure}
+\begin{verbatim}
+$ elatex montex.tex # Compile document
+$ dvips montex.dvi # Create PostScript out of DVI
+$ gv montex.ps # Preview document
+\end{verbatim}
+\caption{PostScript Compilation and Preview Cycle}\label{figure:RunExampleTeTeX}
+\end{figure}
+
+Without PostScript support, only implementation level II can be
+realized (instead of IIa and IV): Mongolian script can be printed
+horizontally but not vertically. It must be noted here that most DVI
+viewers are \emph{not} capable of presenting vertical text
+correctly; the conversion step from DVI to PostScript is virtually
+always necessary.
+
+
+\section{PDF Support\label{PDFScriptSupport}}
+
+With the arrival of PDF\TeX\ it is possible to generate a PDF
+(Adobe's Portable Document Format, that is) directly from the
+\texttt{.tex} sources without going through the \texttt{.dvi}
+stage. All systems offering \texttt{pdfelatex} can be used to
+compile a \MonTeX\ Implementation Level IV document. provided the
+necessary PostScript is installed. PDF is the recommended form of
+output on systems without PostScript views and printers (like,
+unfortunately, most of the Windows\textit{xx} world). PDF documents
+reproduce everything \MonTeX\ generates as is, and with Type1 fonts
+for Classical Mongolian, the on-screen display of Classical
+Mongolian and Manju material is fast and pleasant.
+
+A sample command sequence to produce and preview a document with PDF
+output can be found in illustration~\ref{figure:RunExamplePDF}.
+
+\begin{figure}
+\begin{verbatim}
+$ pdfelatex montex.tex # Compile document
+$ acroread montex.pdf # View PDF Document with Acrobat Reader
+\end{verbatim}
+\caption{PDF Compilation and Preview Cycle}\label{figure:RunExamplePDF}
+\end{figure}
+
+It is recommended to users with menu-driven environments (WinEdt,
+TeXnicCenter, TeXshell etc.) to set the compilation commands to the
+effect that \texttt{pdfelatex} is invoked as the default compilation
+engine, and the Acrobat Reader is invoked as the default viewer.
+Please consult the software documentation of these products for the
+necessary steps and procedures.
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\chapter{Acknowledgements}
+
+The authors wish to thank the creators of \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ as well
+as the designers of the existing fonts for their generosity of
+providing the world with such inspiring pieces of software. The packages
+from which pieces of code originated by inspiration or blunt copy
+are far too numerous; the Russian captions were taken from the file
+\texttt{russian.sty} (as were the English captions), most of the
+Cyrillic letters were produced with fonts by Nana Glonti and Alexander
+Samarin; additional letters were taken from J.~Knappen's font files.
+Special thanks go to David Carlisle who offered the solution for a
+serious problem with the ligature mechanism in \TeX. During the
+development of Implementation Level IV, important suggestions came
+from David Kastrup, Robin Fairbairns, Dan Luecking, e.\,a. Intensive
+communications about Cyrillic fonts and integrating \MonTeX\ with
+the LH fonts took place with Vladimir Volovich, and other problems
+were discussed with Werner Lemberg.
+
+Among the friends and colleagues in Mongolia and Germany who offered
+information, support and encouragement the authors wish to name
+B.~Nerguy, Urgamal, M.~Balk, Q.~\"Anxzayaa and K.~Maezono (without
+implication of any particular order or precedence). They contributed
+test data as well as their ideas for encoding, font shapes, user
+interfaces, and, last but not least, were patient alpha testers
+who helped the authors with numerous problem reports.
+
+Many of the improvements between version 0.1 and the present version
+are not actually improvements; they are simply eliminations of
+partially awful bugs as well as ugly hacks (rather than
+\emph{code}) and aim to make this package simply usable (if not
+useful).
+
+
+\section{Sources of Code and Inspiration}
+
+Some Cyrillic packages have been available for a few years. All
+Cyrillic packages available for \TeX/\LaTeX\ stem from one of
+two lines of ancestry:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Fonts developed at the University of Washington
+ \item Fonts by Nana Glonti and Alexander Samarin
+\end{itemize}
+The two lines differ substantially in scope of characters and
+printing quality. The University of Washington series in \textsf{OT2}
+encoding has a broad support for East European languages, but the
+praise for printing quality is given to the characters designed by
+Nana Glonti and Alexander Samarin. The Glonti/Samarin line of
+characters has undergone numerous minor modifications, not so much
+in glyph shapes but basically in determining encoding slots.
+Fortunately, the fonts are set up in a way that allows for
+convenient redefining of individual code positions.
+
+Only in 1999, a comprehensive set of Cyrillic glyphs in various
+encodings called LH was finally implemented as standard Cyrillic
+support for \LaTeXe, but at that time it was decided that for the
+time being \MonTeX\ will continue to offer its own Cyrillic font
+set, for which there are mainly three reasons:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item The \MonTeX\ set has a seven-bit basis and allows
+ for the all-Latin, all-ASCII communication of
+ Mongolian texts, while Mongolian hyphenation
+ is active---a matching LH encoding is not yet
+ established;
+
+ \item \MonTeX\ offers a Mongolian currency sign \Togrog\
+ which is not yet included in the LH fonts;
+
+ \item Mongolia, on of the prime markets for \MonTeX,
+ continues to use partially outdated \LaTeXe\
+ installations.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+Neither original line of Cyrillic characters offers the additional
+characters necessary for writing non-Slavic languages like
+Mongolian; already in the beginning of the 1990s, J\"org Knappen
+filled the gap and designed additional letters which were intended
+to be used with Bashkir, a Turkic language. In fact, most of the
+letter forms employed there can also be used in other non-Slavic
+languages used throughout Central Asia since these letters are not
+specific to Bashkir. Some of J.~Knappen's letter forms (accidentally
+mostly those which are not necessary for writing Modern Mongolian)
+do need some refinement, and are then immediately suitable for a
+range of languages including Kasakh, Tuvinian etc. In the present
+stage of the system, only those letters used in Mongolian and Buryat
+are incorporated from J.~Knappen's files.
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+After discussing the typeface issues with Mongolian specialists, the
+Glonti/Samarin letter forms were chosen for their superior appearance in
+volume text. The fonts had to be renamed; failing to do so would
+have resulted in unpermissible ambiguity.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+One feature of the traditional Cyrillic font packages for \TeX\ (besides
+their lacking support for non-Slavic languages) is the intimate relationship
+between input encoding and output encoding. The first step in
+building Mongolian support was to separate these two spheres as
+numerous Mongolian encodings exist which should all be supported by
+the Mongolian package. A new encoding was then defined (\LMC\ ---
+Local Mongolian Cyrillic) which is a close approximation of a
+transliteration based on Latin1 encoding, notably with front vowels
+\"a, \"o, \"u (\xalx{"a, "o, "u}) and \"i\ (\xalx{"i}) in matching
+positions.
+
+The encoding is completely detached from the existing Cyrillic
+codepages of which there are too many; in addition it should be
+possible to produce Mongolian documents in 7-bit environments so as
+to assure maximum document portability.
+
+An additional ligature table for Metafont was then supplied which
+takes care of most of the two-letter combinations necessary for
+entering Cyrillic since the Cyrillic alphabet has more letters
+(36 in the present version) than the Latin alphabet which prohibited
+any 1:1-mapping scheme.
+
+The used transliteration is very closely modelled after the MLS
+system yet provides enough transparency for accepting alternative
+spellings in some cases.
+
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\chapter{Input and Output Encodings}
+
+\section{The Need for Encodings}
+
+Any Mongolian text system has to deal with the issues of how to store,
+transmit, process and represent the following entities:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Normal Latin letters, numbers and punctuation marks:
+ a, b, c, etc.;
+ \item Cyrillic letters, including those not present in
+ basic Cyrillic but needed by Mongolian: \xalx{a, b,
+ w, \"o, \"u};
+ \item Special symbols like the Mongolian Currency sign: \Togrog;
+ \item Classical Mongolian script;
+ \item Special symbols used in Latin scripts for purposes
+ of transliterating Mongolian scripts: \"a, \"o, \"u,
+ \g\ e.\,a.
+\end{itemize}
+
+All these sets of symbols, alphabets and characters have their own
+unique properties, especially when it comes to non-Latin writings
+like Mongolian or Tibetan.
+
+Unfortunately, prior to the arrival of Unicode, all computer systems
+based on 8-bit encodings (with a maximum character set of 256
+characters) can only represent subsets of the above-mentioned
+entities as basic characters. All computer systems with 8-bit
+character encodings must either switch between several character
+sets (or code pages) or use non-standard commands to invoke
+individual character entities.
+
+It is important to understand that the issue of how to enter all
+these characters is more or less completely detached from the issue
+of how to represent these characters on screen or in a document.
+Misleadingly, the usage of Latin characters in modern computers
+seems to suggest that there is a simple, 1:1 relationship (or
+mapping) between input and output, but for a number of languages,
+including Mongolian, this is simply not the case. While, due to the
+origin and history of computers, simple-minded systems do not make
+any difference between the two realms, \TeX\ separates these two
+domains clearly, allowing for the amazing flexibility \TeX\ shows
+when treating languages and writing systems.
+
+It must also be understood that even though Unicode allows for the
+unambiguous representation of the characters and symbols of the
+world's major languages, it does not define any output conventions,
+and thus, input and output domains should still be treated as
+separate areas.
+
+\section{Input Encodings}
+
+\MonTeX\ is flexible enough to deal with several kinds of input
+encodings including code pages with Cyrillic letters and Unicode.
+Input encodings are declared as an option to the main package in the
+document preample. E.\,g., a user working on an IBM compatible DOS
+platform is likely to specify the option \cmda{mls}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[mls]{mls}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection{7-bit ASCII and Mongolian}
+
+Basically it is possible to use \MonTeX\ without anything else but
+the plain 7-bit ASCII Latin character set since internal and external
+mechanisms are available which can render transliterated texts (both
+Cyrillic and Traditional Mongolian) into their appropriate script
+presentations.
+
+\subsection{The MLS Codepage}
+
+The MLS codepage was the ancestor of all comprehensive,
+IBM-compatible Mongolian systems which intended to cover both
+Cyrillic and Classical Mongolian. Developed in the early 1990s, the
+MLS system tried to offer full Mongolian support for existing
+hardware and software as it was available then. While modern
+technological developments have confined the original approach to
+history, it is preserved here for preserving backward compatibility.
+
+The MLS codepage is compatible with the IBM 437 codepage as far as
+the front vowels are concerned but features additional Cyrillic
+letters and Classical Mongolian.
+
+\subsection{8-bit Encodings}
+
+Most available 8-bit input encodings support either front vowels
+or Cyrillic letters or Classical Mongolian but usually not several
+of them at the same time.
+
+If a local environment supports Cyrillic and Script codepages
+then texts can be composed using these codepages. Table
+\ref{inputenc} shows which codepages are supported. Those codepage
+names which are followed by a `(+)' are supplied by \MonTeX\ whereas
+the other codepage declarations are recognized and passed through to
+the system assuming that the appropriate table exists. The column
+``Front Vowels'' indicates whether the vowels \"o and \"u (and their
+Mongolian counterparts \xalx{"o, "u}) are available in that particular
+codepage. \MonTeX\ recognizes both numbers and numbers preceded by
+\texttt{cp}, like \texttt{1250} and \texttt{cp1250} as names of
+codepages which are known by their number.

+\subsection{utf-8 Unicode}
+
+In summer of 2002, a new input encoding was made available for
+existing \LaTeXe\ installations which allows the processing of
+utf8-encoded Unicode material. This package can be invoked
+with the option \cmda{utf8}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[utf8]{mls}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+There are some caveats, however. The relevant code is still under
+development, and at present, \MonTeX\ only deals with the Mongolian,
+Manju and Sibe subsets of the Traditional Mongolian Character Plane
+beginning at U1800; a Todo character set remains to be implemented,
+and some of the more arcane special characters present in Unicode
+are as yet unavailable in \MonTeX. The resulting constraints do not
+affect the work with contemporary text material and are only felt
+when dealing with frequently bilingual, mostly Tibetan and Sanskrit,
+religious texts of earlier centuries. Consult chapter~\ref{Unicode}
+on page~\pageref{Unicode} and table~\ref{table:UnicodeMongolian}
+for details.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\section{Output Encodings}
+
+Several output encodings are defined for \MonTeX:
+
+\begin{description}
+ \item [\LMC] Local Mongolian Cyrillic: This encoding was
+ defined in order to avoid collisions with existing
+ Cyrillic encodings for \TeX\ and \LaTeX. \LMC\ is
+ a 7-bit encoding which implies that most of its
+ characters are addressed in the range of ordinary
+ ASCII characters; when this encoding is active, all
+ text typed in ASCII Latin characters will
+ automatically appear in Cyrillic. Unlike some other
+ available 7-bit encodings (like WN Cyrillic) it
+ provides characters used in Mongolian.
+ \item [\LMA] Local Manju: Manju in Ligature Mode. Any text
+ typed in romanized Manju is automatically converted
+ into Manju characters. \LMA\ acts thus like a
+ typical 7-bit encoding.
+ \item [\LMO] Local Mongolian: Similar to Manju in Ligature
+ Mode, Mongolian in Ligature Mode is typed in a
+ special romanized form and is then automatically
+ converted into Uighur Mongolian characters. \LMO, too,
+ acts thus like a typical 7-bit encoding.
+ \item [\LMS] Local Mongolian Script: The system's original
+ encoding for the Mongolian script. Mongolian is
+ represented by a Latin transliteration the letters
+ of which are essentially treated as future Mongolian
+ canonical code positions. Once Mongolian Unicode will
+ be available, the Latin transliteration can be
+ seamlessly replaced by Mongolian canonical characters.
+ The arrangement of code positions in this encoding
+ does not reflect Unicode but follows the MLS
+ system's keyboard support.
+ \item [\LMT] Local Mongolian-Tibetan: This encoding is reserved
+ to ensure access to the characters in the future \Zanabazar\
+ package: \Soyombo\footnote{%
+ It is possible to use the Soyombo package
+ available since 1996 as long as \Zanabazar\
+ is not available.}
+ and \XD. It is designed to comprise
+ Tibetan as well, and Sirlin's Tibetan fonts can be
+ directly used with this encoding.
+ \item [\LMX] Local Mongolian \XD: This encoding is used for
+ the \XD\ Script (available on CTAN) but is not
+ frozen yet. Individual code positions are still
+ subject to change.
+ \item [\LMU] Local Mongolian Superset (\textsf{U} stands for
+ `Umbrella'', ``Unknown'', or whatever you like to
+ pick): This encoding is used to access all glyphs
+ of the \texttt{bxg} glyph container, but is not
+ frozen yet. Individual code positions are still
+ subject to change.
+\end{description}
+
+
+\section{\MonTeX\ and Recent \TeX\ Trends}
+
+As soon as the LH Cyrillic fonts support the Mongolian currency sign,
+\MonTeX\ will switch to this font set. At the moment the
+private encoding \LMC\ is favoured over LH; future implementations
+of \MonTeX\ will provide a smooth transition for the user: documents
+developed with older versions of \MonTeX\ will be upward compatible.
+
+The \texttt{babel} package will, perhaps, also be supported in due
+course; at the moment, \texttt{babel} support is lacking mainly due
+to font encoding questions and a private RL setup. At present,
+\MonTeX\ is \emph{not} built with \texttt{babel} compatibility in mind.
+It must be seen as a stand-alone extension similar to
+\texttt{german.sty} or the \textsf{CJK} package.
+
+The future belongs to 16-bit character sets; the first \TeX\
+development supporting larger character sets is $\Omega$mega of
+which experimental versions exist. One of the great features of
+$\Omega$mega is the capability to process canonical input encodings
+in order to generate glyph variants for document presentation. These
+so-called translation processes are far more powerful than anything
+Metafont can offer via ligatures, and they are the only feasible way
+to avoid external preprocessors or internal retransliteration engines
+coded in \TeX\ needed to process Mongolian script.\footnote{%
+ The retransliteration engine provided with the \LMS\
+ encoding of \MonTeX\ has
+ a rather `combined' approach; basic letter forms are selected
+ in the retransliteration section while typical ligatures
+ are composed with the ligature tables of Metafont. The authors
+ express their sincerest gratitude to David Carlisle who
+ contributed the missing link between characters in the output
+ list and \TeX/Metafont's ligature mechanism.}
+Prof.~Lagally's Arab\TeX\ is the only \LaTeX\ package known to the
+authors where an extensive retransliteration engine is realized
+as pure \TeX\ code; it is an impressive piece of work defying any
+simple-minded imitation. So far, $\Omega$mega translation processes
+exist for Tibetan and Arabic (paragons of complex relations between
+original script and any attempted romanization).

+\chapter{Installation}
+
+Before this latest version of \MonTeX\ is installed please make sure
+that old installations of \MonTeX\ \emph{and} Manju\TeX\ are purged
+from disk as there are file name conflicts between earlier and
+recent versions of this software. In addition, Manju\TeX\ \emph{is
+not required} any more as its functionality is now completely
+covered by \MonTeX.
+
+\section{Hyphenation Patterns}
+
+\MonTeX\ provides hyphenation rules for Modern Mongolian (Xalx).
+Hyphenation patterns for English are activated with English as
+selected language; hyphenation patterns for Russian exist at CTAN
+but they are unfortunately not suited for \MonTeX\ withour prior
+work. Hyphenation patterns for Buryat have not been developed yet.
+
+Due to the very nature of \TeX, hyphenation patterns for a given
+language cannot easily be loaded at run-time but must be compiled into
+a so-called format file which gets loaded by \TeX\ whenever the
+command \texttt{latex} is executed. A format file is usually
+created when a new \TeX\ or \LaTeXe\ system is installed, but creating
+a new format can be done at any later time again. A special variant
+of \TeX\ called \texttt{initex} is used for this purpose.
+The procedure sounds more intimidating than it actually is.
+Since there are many different types of \TeX\ installations, the
+procedure is somewhat system-dependent. There is detailed on-line
+documentation available for performing this task, either in form of
+a text file for emtex, or in form of a FAQ file which can be
+displayed using the command \texttt{texconfig faq} on teTeX systems.

+\chapter{Introduction}
+
+With regard to the substantial differences between Latin-like scripts
+(including Cyrillic) and Mongolian scripts, the user documentation
+of \MonTeX\ is divided into two parts. This part deals with general
+settings, like language choices and input encoding definitions,
+whereas the commands specific to Mongolian and Manju are dealt with
+in part~III, ``Mongol Bicig and Manju Bithe''. An alphabetic command
+reference covering \emph{all} commands is presented in part~IV.
+
+\section{General Settings}
+
+In order to access the commands of \MonTeX\ the package must be
+loaded in the document preamble by saying
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[<language options>,<encoding options>]{mls}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The options include choices for the basic document language and
+input encodings.
+
+\subsection{Document Language}
+
+The document language can be set with one of
+ \verb"bicig",
+ \verb"bithe",
+ \verb"buryat",
+ \verb"english",
+ \verb"russian" or
+ \verb"xalx"
+like in
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[xalx]{mls}
+\end{verbatim}
+which issues all captions and the date in Modern Mongolian.
+
+The options \refcmda{bicig} and \refcmda{bithe} are discussed extensively
+in part~\ref{part:BicigandBithe}, ``Mongol Bicig and Manju Bithe''.
+
+The options \cmda{buryat} (see table~\ref{Buryatcaptions}),
+ \cmda{russian} (see table~\ref{Russiancaptions})
+ and
+ \cmda{xalx} (see table~\ref{Xalxcaptions}) produce
+ captions in Buryat, Russian and Modern Mongolian.
+
+The option
+\cmda{english}, at least as a \verb"\usepackage" option, is
+essentially a do-nothing: it sets captions to English (which is
+the default of this package anyway).
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+ {\captionsburyat
+ \CaptionsList{Buryat}}
+\end{table}
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+ {\captionsrussian
+ \CaptionsList{Russian}}
+\end{table}
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+ {\captionsxalx
+ \CaptionsList{Xalx}}
+\end{table}
+
+The date form follows \TeX\ conventions and is thus a mixture of
+numbers and words. Thus for \cmd{today} (\today) we get%
+ \footnote{The actual date at compilation time is
+used for the examples.} what is shown in
+table~\ref{caption:BXRDates}. The Uighur Mongolian and Manju dates
+are presented in section~\ref{section:UMMDates},
+page~\pageref{section:UMMDates}.
+
+\begin{figure}[h]
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{ll}
+ \textbf{Buryat} &\BuryatToday\\\label{BuryatToday}
+ \textbf{Xalx} &\XalxToday\\\label{XalxToday}
+ \textbf{Russian} &\RussianToday\\\label{RussianToday}
+ \end{tabular}
+\caption{Dates in Buryat, Xalx and Russian}\label{caption:BXRDates}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+The language specifiers
+\verb"buryat",
+\verb"english",
+\verb"russian" and
+\verb"xalx" can
+also be used anywhere in the document as arguments to the
+\verb"\selectlanguage" command.
+Instead of stating an argument to \verb"\usepackage[...]{mls}" it is
+possible to say in your document
+\begin{quote}
+ \verb"\selectlanguange{xalx}"
+\end{quote}
+which would set captions to Xalx Mongolian.
+
+
+
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\chapter{Cyrillic Text -- \xalx{Kirill "us"ag}}
+
+\section{Cyrillic Text in Transliteration (\LMC) Mode%
+ \label{section:CyrillicTransliterationMode}}
+
+\MonTeX\ provides two basic modes of operation: in
+\begin{itemize}\label{SetDocumentEncoding}
+ \item Transliteration Mode (intimately linked to the \LMC\
+ encoding) all incoming text is regarded as
+ transliterated Cyrillic. This allows users to
+ compose Cyrillic documents on pure ASCII machines.
+ In contrast, the
+ \item Immediate Mode does nothing and waits for explicit
+ Cyrillic characters in the input in order to generate
+ Cyrillic output.
+\end{itemize}
+Two commands are used to switch between these modes:
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+\SetDocumentEncodingLMC
+\SetDocumentEncodingNeutral
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+The first command switches to Transliteration Mode, the second
+command deactivates the transliteration and thus, by definition,
+activates Immediate Mode.
+
+In the \LMC\ encoding, most Cyrillic characters are mapped directly to
+a single Latin character but for some characters there is a text
+command which became necessary since there are more Cyrillic than
+Latin characters. For convenience, a few ligatures were defined, too.
+Details are given in table~\ref{cyralpha}.

+\caption{Cyrillic Alphabet Input Methods}\label{cyralpha}
+\end{center}
+\end{table}
+
+Front vowels can be entered directly using the encoding slot of a
+valid and active input encoding, or they can be expressed via an
+abbreviated \verb'"'\emph{v} notation where \emph{v} stands for any
+desired vowel. In the \LMC\ encoding used by \MonTeX, \verb'"' is not
+an active character; selecting the proper letter is done by ligature
+statements in the Metafont sources.
+
+Some letters can be entered with or without a preceding \verb"\",
+like \cyryu\ and \cyrya. Both \verb"\yu" and \verb"yu" will produce
+a \cyryu. While \verb"yu" is interpreted as a ligature, \verb"\yu"
+allows for the character \cyryu\ to be combined with accents.
+Accents are not commonly used in Mongolian since there are precise
+rules for word stress. This feature is taken from the \textsf{OT2} encoding
+and is included mainly for the sake of completeness, convenience and
+compatibility\footnote{The magic triple-C!}.
+
+Here now a sample of Mongolian text:
+\begin{figure}[h]
+\exa

+\end{verbatim}%
+\exc
+\caption{Romanized Cyrillic Input Example}\label{figure:CyrInputExample}
+\end{figure}
+
+In order to make the document you are reading at the moment truly
+portable, the somewhat more clumsy \verb'"'\emph{v} notation was
+used in this example; if your environments supports an 8-bit
+codepage (what it usually does), all front vowels can be entered
+as \texttt{\"a}, \texttt{\"o} and \texttt{\"u} etc. using the
+slots of those vowels in the particular active codepage.\footnote{%
+ Looking at the source code of this document the astute
+ reader will discover that all front vowels are indeed
+ produced using the \tttt{ "a} (etc.) notation; thus
+ the document source can be viewn and manipulated on any
+ 7-bit ASCII platform; it can also safely be transmitted
+ via e-mail.}
+
+
+
+\section{Entering Cyrillic Text in Immediate Mode}
+
+For freely combining Latin and Cyrillic characters without
+using any explicite commands it is necessary that the codepage
+in use supports some Cyrillic encoding. It should be noted,
+however that these documents are not easily portable between
+different platforms anymore since they need recoding; some
+of the Cyrillic codepages are defective in one or the other
+way thus individual characters can get lost.
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+The user simply specifies the desired input encoding as a
+\verb:\usepackage[:\emph{<encoding>}\verb:]{mls}: option, and
+\MonTeX\ takes care of the rest.
+It is a feature and not a bug that input encoding and document
+language are chosen independently. It is well possible that a
+user working on a computer with default Mongolian codepage
+wants to create a document in Russian, English or any other
+language yet wants to include Mongolian fragments in her text
+without explicitely issuing any command.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+In case a need arises for switching from Transliteration Mode
+to Immediate Mode the command \label{cmd:SetDocumentEncodingNeutral}
+can be issued anywhere in the preamble or the document itself;
+like \verb"\SetDocumentEncodingLMC"\label{cmd:SetDocumentEncodingLMC} it affects the Cyrillic
+transliteration only and leaves the document language
+in its chosen state.
+
+
+\section{Entering Cyrillic Characters by Name}
+
+Outside the Cyrillic environments, individual Cyrillic characters
+can be entered by using the commands beginning with
+\verb"\cyr"\textit{x} from the two right columns of table
+\ref{cyralpha} where \textit{x} stands for the letter name.
+This command works in any encoding.
+
+\section{Entering Special Cyrillic Characters\label{section:SpecialCyrCharacters}}
+
+A few special characters are available, notably the guillemots
+frequently used for quoting text, the currency symbol, the
+ordinal number symbol and the currency sign. See
+table~\ref{table:SpecialCyrCharacters}.
+
+\begin{table}[h]
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{cll}
+ Symbol & Command & Alternative\\
+ \mnr\lgu& \verb|\lgu| & \verb|<<|\\
+ \mnr\rgu& \verb|\rgu| & \verb|>>|\\
+ \No & \verb|\No| & \\
+ \Togrog & \verb|\Togrog| & \\
+ \togrog & \verb|\togrog| & \\
+\end{tabular}
+\caption{\MonTeX\ Special Cyrillic Characters}\label{table:SpecialCyrCharacters}
+\end{center}
+\end{table}
+
+The command producing the guillemots (\verb|\lgu|, \verb|\rgu|)
+\emph{only} works in a Cyrillic environment --- it is not a generic
+command.
+
+There are actually two versions of the \cmd{togrog} command. While
+\cmd{Togrog} produces a sans serif \Togrog\ (considered standard)
+with any font selected it is also possible to print
+ serif (\MyTogrog),
+ italic (\textit{\MyTogrog})
+and typewriter (\texttt{\MyTogrog}) versions of this
+symbol.\footnote{The currency symbol is not limited to these three
+ typefaces; all typefaces can be selected.}
+For achieving this result the commands \cmd{MyTogrog} and \cmd{mytogrog}
+are available. Unlike the standard command they simply pick the
+current font style of the surrounding letters for the currency
+symbol.
+
+\section{Running Text with Embedded Words in Different Encodings}
+
+Independently of the document language it is possible to produce
+portions of Cyrillic text within Latin text and vice versa.
+The two commands \cmd{mnr} and \cmd{rnm} switch from ordinary
+Latin text to transliterated Cyrillic text and back to Latin text.
+The command stands for \emph{m}ongolian \emph{n}ew \emph{r}omanization
+and its reversal (which can, by accident, also be read as
+\emph{r}eturn to \emph{n}or\emph{m}al). They can be used as stream
+commands or for initializing groups:\label{mnrnm}
+
+\exa
+ \mnr mongol x"al ba \rnm english
+ text with a {\mnr mongol} word
+ inserted
+\exb
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ \mnr mongol x"al ba \rnm english
+ text with a {\mnr mongol} word
+ inserted
+ \end{verbatim}
+\exc
+
+For enhanced convenience, portions of text can also be encapsulated
+into the commands \cmd{xalx}\verb"{...}" for Cyrillic text and
+\cmd{lat}\verb"{...}" for neutral (i.~e. Latin) texts.\label{capsules}
+
+The commands \verb"\mnr", \verb"\rnm", \verb"\xalx{...}" and
+\verb"\lat{...}" do \emph{not} switch the default encoding; this
+shows up when a construct like \verb:\lat{\verb|article|}: is placed
+in Transliteration Mode; the result will be \texttt{\xalx{article}}
+rather than \texttt{article}; in order to generate the desired form,
+the mode switching commands must be used.
+
+
+\section{Font Selection Commands}
+
+The Cyrillic fonts are set up in a manner which allows for seamless
+switching between Roman and Cyrillic typefaces. The font switching
+commands used for modifying typefaces (by \verb"\text..") are
+completely transparent to the encoding; no precaution whatsoever has
+to be taken. Most of the
+typefaces supplied with the traditional \textsf{OT1} encoding are
+also available for \MonTeX; Dunhill and Funny Roman are included.\footnote{%
+ A complete overview of the NFSS classification of the
+ Computer Modern fonts can be found in The \LaTeX\ Companion,
+ by Michel Goossens, Frank Mittelbach and Alexander Samarin,
+ Addison-Wesley 1994, p.~181.}
+\MonTeX\ offers the following font families as shown in
+table~\ref{MonTeXFontFamilies}:
+\begin{table}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{p{3cm}|l}
+\verb'\fontfamily{...}' Parameter & Family Description \\
+\hline
+ cmr & Computer Modern Serif\\
+ cmss & Computer Modern Sans Serif\\
+ cmtt & computer Modern Typewriter\\
+ cmvtt& Computer Modern Variable Width Typewriter\\
+ cmfr & Computer Modern Funny\\
+ cmfib& Computer Modern Fibonacci\\
+ cmdh & Computer Modern Dunhill\\
+ cmssq& Computer Modern Sans Serif Quotation Style 8pt\\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+\caption{Font Families Supported by \MonTeX}\label{MonTeXFontFamilies}
+\end{table}
+
+The word ``Roman'' was avoided since in \MonTeX\ these families
+also cover matching typefaces in Cyrillic script. The first three
+families have support for combinations of different weights and
+shapes (e.\,g. bold and italic) whereas the other series usually
+only offer an italic variant. The Sans Serif Quotation Style 8pt
+typeface is not by default installed in standard \LaTeX\
+distributions hence it cannot be guaranteed that switching to and
+from Cyrillic letters maintains the typeface. The fonts (upright and
+slanted) can be accessed via the \verb|\fontfamily{cmssq}| command
+but are not shown in table~\ref{table:typeface}. See
+table~\ref{table:typeface} for a therefore incomplete list of
+available typeface examples.

+
+Besides these transparent commands for scalable fonts \MonTeX\ also
+offers two inch-high variants of bold Computer Modern Sans typefaces
+for Latin and Cyrillic: \cmd{cminch} and \cmd{kminch}.
+These commands bypass the NFSS font setup and should only be used for
+book titles etc. The command sequence \verb|{\cminch AB} {\kminch AB}|
+produces the output shown in figure~\ref{cminchkminch}.

+\section{Shorthands for Embedding Words in a Different
+ Typeface}\label{typefacecapsules}
+
+Sometimes it may be necessary to give short portions of text not
+only in a different encoding (for which the \refcmd{lat}\verb:{...}:
+and \refcmd{mnr}\verb:{...}: commands are
+useful) but it may also be necessary to switch the typeface
+temporarily. Usually capsules using \verb'\text'\emph{xx} do the
+work if only the typeface is concerned, and building nested commands
+like \verb'\textsf{\lat{...}}' is cumbersome if these changes have
+to be applied very often. \MonTeX\ provides an abbreviated style
+following the rule
+\begin{quote}
+ \texttt{[k|l]}\emph{two letter font style code}\verb'{...}'
+\end{quote}
+where the font style code is one of
+ \verb'rm',
+ \verb'bf',
+ \verb'it',
+ \verb'sl',
+ \verb'sf',
+ \verb'sc' and
+ \verb'tt',
+like \verb'\ksl{...}', \verb'\lsc{...}', etc.
+
+
+\section{Shorthands for Writing Transliterated Texts}
+
+\MonTeX\ provides shortcuts for writing certain accented symbols
+used in conventional transliterating of Mongolian by
+haceks, the nasal and the gamma. These shortcuts are essentially
+mnemonics replacing the somewhat more tedious accent notation (see
+table~\ref{table:shortcuts}).
+
+\begin{table}
+\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ll|ll}
+%\hline
+Letter & Input & Letter & Input \\
+ & & &\\
+\hline
+ & & &\\
+\ch & \verb"\ch" & \Ch & \verb"\Ch" \\
+\jh & \verb"\jh" & \Jh & \verb"\Jh" \\
+\sh & \verb"\sh" & \Sh & \verb"\Sh" \\
+\zh & \verb"\zh" & \Zh & \verb"\Zh" \\
+\ng & \verb"\ng" & \Ng & \verb"\Ng" \\
+\g & \verb"\g" & \G & \verb"\G" \\
+%\hline
+\end{tabular}\end{center}
+\caption{Shortcuts for Mongolian Transliteration Symbols}\label{table:shortcuts}
+\end{table}
+
+It must be observed that these commands are by default dependent on
+the environment they are used in. \verb"\Sh" yields a \Sh\ when used
+in a Latin environment but results in a \mnr\Sh\rnm\ when used in a
+Cyrillic context\footnote{The authors wish to thank J.~Knappen for
+resolving one instability in the original code for these letters.}:
+
+\exa
+ \emph{\Sh agdar} and \emph{\Ch adraa}
+ are transliterations for
+ {\mnr\Sh agdar} and {\mnr\Ch adraa}.
+\exb
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ \emph{\Sh agdar} and \emph{\Ch adraa}
+ are transliterations for
+ {\mnr\Sh agdar} and {\mnr\Ch adraa}.
+ \end{verbatim}
+\exc
+
+
+\section{Gamma Typeface}
+
+If modern Greek is supported by your \LaTeXe\ installation then the
+shape of the gamma will match the neighbouring typeface as closely
+as possible%
+\ifthenelse{\value{GreekGammaAvailable}=1}{
+ \space as can be seen from table~\ref{table:typeface}%
+ }%
+ {};
+\cmd{g} otherwise, the selection of gamma shapes and styles is limited
+to the gamma math typeface supplied by standard \TeX\ installations.
+
+%% \ifthenelse{\value{GreekGammaAvailable}=1}{
+%% \begin{table}
+%% \begin{center}
+%% \begin{tabular}{rl}
+%% & \ {\Sh a\g dur}\\
+%% \end{tabular}
+%% \end{center}
+%% \caption{Available Gamma Typefaces\label{greekgamma}}
+%% \end{table}}{}%
+%%
+
+\section{Oirat Double Accents}
+
+All accented characters which are contained in the \textsf{T1} encoding
+or can be generated out of these via accents can be produced. This comes
+in conveniently for transliterating Oirat texts which need vowels with
+double diacritics, like \rule{0mm}{2.5ex}\={\"a} which can be entered as
+any combination of two nested accent commands (like \verb:\={\"a}:)
+or one accent command and a vowel with diacritics (provided an 8-bit
+input codepage is available).
+
+
+\section{Numbering by Cyrillic Letters}
+
+Analogous to the \verb:\Alpha: command which provides an alphabetical
+counter in English, \MonTeX\ features counters for Buryat, Modern
+Mongolian, and Russian.
+\begin{description}
+ \item [Buryat]\label{Uzeg}
+ The counter for Buryat is invoked with
+ \cmd{Uzeg}\verb"{"\emph{n}\verb"}" or
+ \cmd{uzeg}\verb"{"\emph{n}\verb"}" and is valid for $1\le n\le32$.

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\chapter{Introduction}
+
+This part describes in detail all aspects of typesetting Mongolian
+and Manju with \MonTeX. The following sections cover the various
+input methods for these languages, the commands for presenting small
+snippets, big portions and whole documents composed in Mongolian and
+Manju, as well as the relationship between input notations and
+script-related commands.
+
+\section{Mongolian and Manju Script Fundamentals}
+
+Mongolian Script, or \emph{bicig}, is a writing with an intriguing
+and complex relationship between the canonical letters of
+the alphabet and their presentations in context. Virtually any canonical
+letter can assume several shapes. As a rule of thumb, there are
+three or four basic shapes: the letter in isolated form, the letter
+in initial, medial and final position of a word. Only a few letters
+stay the same, and in rare cases there are up to ten possibilities
+for representing a single letter.
+
+On the other hand, some letters share the same shape in different
+contexts; one so-called \emph{glyph} can represent more than one
+letter, sometimes three or four different letters.
+
+The Manju writing, or \emph{bithe} system is a close relative of the
+Mongolian system; the basical letter shapes are the same. Yet for Manju,
+a set of diacritics (\emph{dots und circles}) was designed to the effect
+that all the ambiguities of Mongolian are eliminated.
+
+Decomposing the writing system and using glyphs as the atoms of
+writing is one of several conceivable methods of writing Mongolian
+script.
+
+In \MonTeX, Mongolian script can be entered in three ways, either
+by writing transliterated Mongolian in one of two different
+romanization systems, by an approximated symbol for every glyph or
+by generic name. There are certain constraints concerning the
+possible combinations of Mongolian input methods and Mongolian
+writing display commands. Since Manju has only one input method,
+these constraints do not apply to Manju. The possible combinations
+are listed in table~\ref{table:Combinations}.
+
+A complete guide to
+the principles of glyph analysis can be found in the MLS Report
+by one of the authors.\footnote{Oliver Corff: MLS Report. UNU/IIST
+Report No.~8, Macau 1993}
+
+Due to technical constraints of \MonTeX, there is an intimate
+relationship between various script-related commands and Mongolian
+input methods.
+
+
+\section{General Settings\label{section:UMMDates}}
+
+As for Modern (Xalx) Mongolian, Buryat and Russian documents, it is
+possible to set the document language to Uighur Mongolian or Manju
+with a language option:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[<language options>,<encoding options>]{mls}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The two language options are \cmda{bicig} for Uighur Mongolian
+and \cmda{bithe} for Manju documents. Among other things, they
+set the document encoding, the captions and the date in either
+Uighur Mongolian or Manju.
+
+The date form follows \TeX\ conventions and is thus a mixture of
+numbers and words. Thus for \cmd{today} (\today) we get%
+ \footnote{The actual date at compilation time is
+used for the examples.} what is shown in
+table~\ref{caption:UMMDates}.
+\enlargethispage*{1ex}
+
+\begin{figure}[h]
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{cc}
+ \textbf{Mongolian}%
+ \mobosoo{\BicigToday}
+ \label{cmd:BicigToday} &\textbf{Manju}
+ \mabosoo{\BitheToday}
+ \label{cmd:BitheToday}\\
+ \end{tabular}
+\caption{Dates in Uighur Mongolian and Manju}\label{caption:UMMDates}
+\end{center}
+\end{figure}
+
+The document language option \verb'bicig' can only be used with the
+Mongolian input method named ``Simplified Transliteration'' (see the
+following chapter and table~\ref{table:Combinations}).
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\chapter{Mongolian Input}
+
+It has been mentioned before that each Mongolian input method
+provided by \MonTeX\ has a slightly different application scope.
+The next sections cover
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item \emph{Simplified Transliteration Mode} which is
+ the mode of choice for bulk text due to its availability
+ as document encoding; the associated font encoding
+ is labelled \LMO\label{a:LMO} and internally activated
+ by the command \refcmd{SetDocumentEncodingBicig}.
+
+ \item \emph{MLS Transliteration Mode} which is most
+ suitable for short portions of text, like dictionary
+ entries, quotations, etc.
+
+ \item \emph{Immediate Mode} is the mode accepting
+ Mongolian characters encoded in the MLS codepage.
+ Together with this mode, the input encoding
+ \refcmda{mls} should be specified, ideally combined
+ with the command \refcmd{SetDocumentEncodingNeutral}.
+
+ \item \emph{Glyph Input} which is useful mainly for
+ rendering individual words in unorthodox or
+ incorrect spellings, e.\,g. for reproducing
+ idiosyncrasies found in old books.
+\end{itemize}
+
+A comprehensive table of the Mongolian alphabet and its MLS
+transliteration, the input conventions of the MLS transliteration in
+\MonTeX\ and the Simplified Transliteration is given in
+table~\ref{table:bcgcagan}.

+\section{Simplified Transliteration Mode}
+
+The broad romanization of the Mongolian script as realized in the
+MLS system focuses on lexical properties (the \emph{information layer})
+rather than graphical properties (the \emph{presentation layer}).
+The obvious advantage of such a method is the possibility to store
+and transmit Mongolian language information in and between systems
+without devices for displaying Mongolian writing.
+
+With the ambiguities of the Mongolian script (the consonants \emph{t/d},
+the vowels \emph{a/e}, and many other ambiguous shapes give vivid
+evidence hereof) it is however possible to enter misleading or wrong
+romanizations which lead to a desired yet semantically misleading
+\emph{display} of Mongolian in which case the underlying information
+is not suitable for further processing.
+
+Another aspect is the retrieval of information from e.\,g. library
+catalogues when only the display of potentially unknown words like
+in book titles is available. It must be possible to enter Mongolian
+script into an information processing system without knowing at
+every moment which underlying letter generates a given shape. This
+implies that glyph analysis does not decompose complex glyph shapes
+into atoms if the shape transformation is purely dictated by
+graphical rather than linguistical context.
+
+Notwithstanding this fact, an obvious \emph{n} appearing as \suul\
+following a vowel should be entered as \texttt{n} while an \emph{a}
+following a consonant which also appears as \suul\ should certainly
+entered as vowel, not as consonant. Anything going deeper in glyph
+analysis can only be considered as atomic coding which may be highly
+useful in special cases but renders the input process more than
+cumbersome in general cases.
+
+The Mongolian Simplified Transliteration proposed here is
+based on principles laid out by Dr.\,Michael Balk of the Deutsche
+Staatsbibliothek, Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin.
+During its development, various proposals were discussed at
+DIN, MNISM and ISO standardization meetings during 1994 to 1997.
+
+The most important principle of this simplified input method is the
+consequent elimination of ambiguities in the relation between
+romanized input (as performed on an ordinary computer keyboard) and
+its Mongolian script target. If the Mongolian language provides
+several readings for certain vowels, then only one vowel is
+available in the simplified method; if alternating consonants (like
+\emph{k/g} can swap shapes, then each input letter is associated with
+one and only one output shape. Furthermore, the \emph{input
+alphabet} (speaking in terms of computer theory) is limited to the
+basic Latin alphabet. It uses only
+\texttt{a b c d e f g h i j k l m n p q r s t u v x y z C K Z}
+and the following characters with special meanings:
+\texttt{- = ' "}. The first symbol is used to separate grammatical
+endings from preceding words, the second separates floating vowels
+from word stems, and the third and fourth character act as Variant
+Selectors. At present, the second Variant Selector is not yet
+assigned.
+
+%\enlargethispage*{4ex}
+Unlike a purely atomic rendering, the resulting romanization as
+shown in table~\ref{table:bcgcagan} is
+easy to learn, much easier to read than atomic code, and yet
+acceptably close to conventional Mongolian transliterations, as can
+be seen from table~\ref{table:SimplifiedExamples}. Each row contains
+one or more instances of every letter listed in the first column.
+From left to right, these are the beginning of a word, the middle of
+a word and the end of a word. Every single cell features three

+\caption{Mongolian Simplified Transliteration by Example%
+ }\label{table:SimplifiedExamples}\\
+\end{longtable}}
+
+While the input method for the majority of characters matches the
+transliteration conventions, some letters require a slightly
+different treatment:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Although the diphtong \mobosoo{*aii*} is usually
+ rendered as \textit{ayi}, it must be entered
+ as \texttt{aii} in order to produce the desired
+ effect.
+
+ \item The back vowels \emph{o} and \emph{u} are both rendered
+ as \texttt{u}.
+
+ \item The front vowels \emph{\"o} and \emph{\"u} are both
+ rendered as \texttt{ui} in first syllables and as
+ \texttt{u} in later syllables.
+
+ \item Since \mobosoo{t} means both \emph{t} and \emph{d},
+ it is necessary to spell this letter as \texttt{t}
+ in the beginning of words, and \texttt{d} in the
+ middle of words, regardless of the actual meaning.
+
+ \item The four consonants \emph{\g}, \emph{g}, \emph{x}
+ and \emph{k} are constrained with regard to the
+ following vowels. The Simplified Transliteration
+ renders these as \texttt{g} (before \emph{a}
+ and \emph{u} only), \texttt{g} (before \emph{a}
+ and \emph{u} only), \texttt{x} and \texttt{k}.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+
+As it was demonstrated in section~\ref{section:CyrillicTransliterationMode},
+it is technically possible to choose between an automatic document encoding
+and the neutral mode. In the case of Uighur Mongolian, the mode of choice
+activates the Simplified Transliteration Mode and is called with
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+\SetDocumentEncodingBicig
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+
+With
+\verb"\SetDocumentEncodingBicig"\label{cmd:SetDocumentEncodingBicig} set,
+it is possible to switch to the Simplified Transliteration Mode anywhere
+in the document, not only in the preamble.
+
+\textit{Caveat:} Since switching to Uighur Mongolian text
+requires a lot of settings to be effected at the same time, there
+are high-level commands available (see below,
+chapter~\ref{chapter:DisplayCommands}: Mongolian and Manju Display
+Commands) which do all the work, including the definition of the
+document encoding. Thus, while \verb|\SetDocumentEncodingBicig|
+is indeed classified as a user-level command, it is certainly not
+necessary for everyday work.
+
+
+\subsection{Character Variants}
+
+With the assistance of special, non-printing characters like the
+Form Variant Selectors, the appearance of certain characters can be
+modified in order to display typographical and orthographical
+variants. Notably, the \emph{n} will loose its dot before vowels,
+as will \emph{\g}. Let's assume the word ``place'' is written in an
+old book as \bicig{g'azar}. It should be understood that this is a
+variant of \bicig{gazar} and should be spelled \emph{\g'azar}, not
+\emph{xazar}. With vowels, the Form Variant Selectors can change the
+shape that is usually required by graphical context. At present,
+only the first of two Form Variant Selectors actually does
+something, the exact behaviour of the second Form Variant Selector
+waits to be implemented.
+
+The following short example shows a concrete application of this
+method. It renders the six syllable mantra \emph{om ma ni padme hum}
+\ifx\tib\undefined\relax
+ \else(tib. {\tib \om, ma nxi pa\V{de}{ma} \hung.})
+\fi also featuring the
+special syllable \cmd{om} as it is displayed on a huge bronze
+incense burner in front of the Gandan Monastery in Ulaanbaatar:
+
+\begin{figure}[h]

+ \mobox{3cm}{\noindent\sffamily

+ \ n'i\\
+ \ badmi'\\
+ \om huu}
+ \end{verbatim}
+\exc
+\caption{Mongolian Character Variants Example}\label{figure:MongCharVarExample}
+\end{figure}
+
+\section{MLS Transliteration Mode}
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+In Transliteration Mode (activated with the commands \cmd{bcg}\verb|{...}|
+or \cmd{mbosoo}\verb|{...}|) Mongolian text portions can be entered using
+a transliteration which is a rough approximation to the MLS system.
+The major difference is that only pure Latin alphabetical symbols
+can be used for virtually all letters. Front vowels are either
+entered via the traditional vowels with diacritics (\emph{\"a, \"o, \"u})
+or can be entered with capitalized versions of the normal vowels.
+Capitalized letters have to be used for entering
+{\g} and {\sh} which are entered as \textit{G} and \textit{S}.
+Special variants for certain letters can be selected with
+Form Variant Selectors.
+%Examples are given in section~\ref{bicig-examples}.%
+\footnote{%
+ The suggested solution has the advantage that it
+ can be used on computers featuring codepages without umlaut
+ symbols as most of the Cyrillic code pages are `defective'
+ in this point.}
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+The available Mongolian characters (\emph{ca\g an tolu\g ai}) are shown
+in table~\ref{table:bcgcagan}.\footnote{The alphabetical arrangement follows
+large that given on p.~17 of N.~Poppe's \textit{Grammar of Written
+Mongolian}, Wiesbaden 1954, 1964, 1974 (third printing). Letters not
+given there are appended to Poppe's list.}
+
+
+\section{Immediate Mode}
+
+For freely combining Mongolian Script with other characters without
+using any explicite commands it is necessary that the codepage in use
+supports Mongolian Script glyphs; currently this is the MLS codepage.
+The MLS input encoding is specified like \verb:\usepackage[mls]{mls}:.
+As with Cyrillic codepages it should be noted that these documents are
+not easily portable between different platforms anymore since they cannot
+be recoded at ease. See table~\ref{table:glyphnames} for a list
+of available symbols.
+
+
+\section{Glyphs by Symbol}
+
+Without MLS codepage support, Mongolian words can also be entered
+using the \cmd{glyphbcg}\verb"{...}" command in running text. Within
+these groups, Mongolian Script glyphs are entered in the form of
+approximated symbols; sometimes these symbols reflect the underlying
+canonical letter, sometimes functional equivalents (for punctuation
+marks etc.) are chosen; sometimes there is no evident relation between
+glyph and input symbol simply because a free slot within the ASCII range
+$c\ge32\le127$ was chosen. Please consult table~\ref{table:glyphchars}
+of available glyphs and their input equivalents.
+
+
+\section{Glyphs by Name}
+
+Without any preparations on the side of the text environment it is
+possible to enter individual Mongolian glyphs by name in a way
+similar for that of entering Cyrillic characters; the Mongolian
+glyph names can be found in table~\ref{table:glyphnames}. Thus,
+\verb|\shilbe| produces a \shilbe. A number in the
+MLS column indicates the encoding position of the MLS codepage; a
+missing number in this column indicates that the glyph is part of
+extended \MonTeX\ glyph set without being part of the original MLS.

+\section{Special Characters\label{section:SpecialMLSCharacters}}
+
+For the correct operation of retransliterating systems processing
+Mongolian script additional symbols are needed. These include
+Form Variant Selectors (\textsf{FVS}), the Vowel Separator, and
+other symbols like the Mongolian Positional Indicator. As can be
+seen from its usage in table~\ref{table:bcgcagan}, entering \verb|*ng|
+tells the system to consider this \emph{ng} to be in non-initial
+position.\footnote{Unfortunately, though it is now commonly
+agreed in the scientific community that these symbols are needed,
+their definition is still in a state of flux, and thus the symbols
+given here are presented on a preliminary basis.}
+
+Besides these symbols, table~\ref{table:SpecialMLSCharacters} includes
+also some useful punctuation marks etc.\ as they are used in
+Mongolian Script.

+\section{Displaying Transliterations}
+
+For huge word lists and similar material it is convenient to enter
+the transliteration only once and use it as input both for the
+Mongolian retransliteration engine and the presentation of the
+transliteration. A construct like
+
+\exa
+ \vspace{8mm}
+ \newcommand{\Keyword}[1]{#1 \bcg{#1}}
+
+ \Keyword{anda} / \emph{Looks nice.}
+
+ \Keyword{SaGdur} / \emph{Not as nice.}
+\exb
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ \newcommand{\Keyword}[1]{#1 \bcg{#1}}
+
+ \Keyword{anda} / \emph{Looks nice.}
+
+ \Keyword{SaGdur} / \emph{Not as nice.}
+ \end{verbatim}
+\exc
+

+\chapter{Manju Input}
+
+Manju documents can be compiled with the \refcmda{bithe} option
+to the \verb|\usepackage| command, which will create complete
+documents in Manju. Anywhere in the document, it is possible to
+switch to Manju input (transliteration mode)
+with
+\verb"\SetDocumentEncodingBithe"\label{cmd:SetDocumentEncodingBithe} which
+internally activates the \LMA\label{a:LMA} encoding.
+
+\textit{Caveat:} Since switching to Manju text
+requires a lot of settings to be effected at the same time, there
+are high-level commands available (see below,
+chapter~\ref{chapter:DisplayCommands}) which do all the work, including
+the definition of the document encoding. Thus, while
+\verb|\SetDocumentEncodingBithe| is indeed classified as a
+user-level command, it is certainly not necessary for everyday work.
+
+
+\section{Basic Character Set and Romanization}
+
+Given by dictionary order, the system provides a basic
+character set as shown in table~\ref{table:ManjuBasicChars}.
+
+\newcommand{\MaEntry}[3]{\mabosoo{#1}& #2 & #3 }
+\begin{table}
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ccc|ccc|ccc}

+\MaEntry{e}{e}{e} & \MaEntry{b}{b}{b} & \MaEntry{j}{j}{j} \\

+\end{tabular}
+\caption{Manju Basic Character Set}\label{table:ManjuBasicChars}
+\end{center}
+\end{table}
+
+While the input method for the majority of characters matches the
+transliteration conventions, some letters require a slightly
+different treatment:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Although the diphtong \mabosoo{*aii*} is
+ usually rendered as \textit{ai}, it must be entered
+ as \texttt{aii} in order to produce the desired
+ effect.
+ \item The vowel which is conventionally rendered as \textit{\^u}
+ or \textit{\=u} \mabosoo{v} can be entered as \texttt{v}
+ or as \verb|\={u}| due to the fact that a character
+ \textit{\^u} is not readily available on most systems.
+ \item The consonant \textit{\v s} \mabosoo{s'} can be entered as
+ \texttt{s'} or as \verb|\v{s}|, but not as *\texttt{sh}
+ as to avoid undesired mergers of \textit{s} and \textit{h}
+ like in \textit{ishun} \mabosoo{ishun} which should not be
+ *\textit{i\v{s}un} \mabosoo{is'un}!
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\section{Extended Character Set}
+The following special characters listed in major dictionaries are
+provided:
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ccc}
+Manju & Input &Latin\\
+\MaEntry{sy}{sy}{sy} \\
+\MaEntry{cy}{cy}{cy} \\
+\MaEntry{j'}{j'}{jy} \\
+\MaEntry{dz}{dz}{dz} \\
+\MaEntry{tsh}{tsh}{tsh} \\
+\MaEntry{tshy}{tshy}{tshy} \\
+\MaEntry{zr}{zr}{zr} \\
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+Please note that due to internal limitations of the retransliteration
+engine, \textit{jy} \mabosoo{j'} has to be entered as \texttt{j'}.
+
+\section{Tibetan Transliteration Character Set}
+Besides these characters, an additional small set of special characters
+is provided for rendering Tibetan and Uighur transliterations:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{ccc}

+\end{center}
+\end{table}
+
+This allows to spell out the Tibetan alphabet in Manju writing, as
+used in the Pentaglot dictionary for Tibetan
+(see table~\ref{table:ManTibTrans}) and Uighur transliterations. The
+following rules apply:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item \MT{nga}{ng'a} (ma. \textit{ng'a}) is used for Tibetan
+ initials and subscripts while
+ finals are expressed as \mabosoo{*ng} (ma. \textit{*ng});
+ \item While \MT{ha}{h|a} is used for Tibetan initial
+ {\tib ha},
+ a different form is taken for subscripted
+ \textit{ha}, as in \MT{lha}{l'|a} (ma. \textit{l'a}).
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Special Characters}
+
+\enlargethispage*{4ex}
+Manju shares with Mongolian the complete set of numbers and
+punctuation marks as well as a few special characters used for
+influencing the presentation of the writing. See also
+section~\ref{section:SpecialMLSCharacters}.
+
+Provided a word should end with a non-final glyph shape then the
+Environment Marker \mabosoo{**} is used which is entered as an
+asterisque \verb-*-. This is helpful for writing abbreviated words
+or marking non-final vowels, like \mabosoo{o*} which is entered as
+\verb-o*-.
+
+Whenever the plethora of diacritics used in Manju writing causes
+ugly clashes between adjacent letters, then the `backbone' (mong.
+\textit{nirugu}), entered as \verb'|', can be used to stretch the
+distance between clashing letter elements, like in \mabosoo{h|a}
+which should be entered \verb-h|a- rather than \verb-ha- resulting
+in \mabosoo{ha}.
+

+\section{Vertical Capsules}
+
+%% \section{Text in Vertical Capsules\label{VerticalCapsules}}\label{bosoo}
+%%
+%% With PostScript support, it is possible to create vertical capsules
+%% containing short portions of text (typically one or two words);
+%% the commands \verb"\bosoo{...}" does not change the current encoding
+%% and can be used for non-Mongolian words whereas \verb"\mbosoo{...}"
+%% sets the encoding temporarily to \LMS. Accepting the same input as
+%% \verb"\bcg{...}", writing \verb"\mbosoo" is simply a shortcut for writing
+%% \verb"\bosoo{\bcg{...}}" and facilitates the printing of individual
+%% Mongolian words in vertical appearance.
+%%
+%%
+%% capsules containing one word or a short series of words,
+%% See chapter \ref{VerticalCapsules}
+%% for the necessary commands. Vertical capsules like these \mbosoo{mongGol}
+%% \mbosoo{bicig} (\textit{mong\g ol bicig}) can appear anywhere in your
+%% text; line spacing etc. will adapt automatically. It is also
+%% possible to create margin notes with Mongolian Script.
+%%
+%%
+Individual Mongolian and Manju words can be placed vertically
+anywhere in otherwise horizontal text like in
+the keyword entry of dictionaries.\footnote{Famous dictionaries with
+ a mixture of vertical and horizontal printing are I.~J.~Schmidt's
+ Mongolian-Russian-German dictionary (1835) and F.~Lessing's
+ Mongolian-English dictionary (1960).}.
+The capsule containing the
+Mongolian or Manju word will automatically request sufficient space
+so that ugly overlaps with neighbouring lines will not happen.
+
+For presenting text given in broad (or MLS) transliteration, use the command
+\cmd{mbosoo}\verb|{...}|; when writing in Mongolian Simplified
+Transliteration, use \cmd{mobosoo}\verb|{...}|; likewise for Manju, use
+\cmd{mabosoo}\verb|{...}|. All these commands are derived from a
+command \cmd{bosoo}\verb|{...}|
+ which places text in vertical
+capsules but leaves the contents untouched as far as the encoding is
+concerned.\marginpar{%

+commands \cmd{mobox}\verb|{...}{...}| for Mongolian%
+\footnote{Mongolian input \emph{must} be coded in Mongolian Simplified
+ Transliteration; MLS input won't work.}
+and
+\cmd{mabox}\verb|{...}{...}|
+for Manju. These boxes take two arguments. The first argument

+\section{Full Vertical Text Pages}
+
+If you need several pages of Mongolian output, enclose your text
+in an environment \cmda{bicigpage}, and use \cmda{bithepage}
+likewise for Manju texts. Note that Mongolian must be entered in
+Simplified Transliteration.
+
+Finally, if you want the whole document and its basic language to be
+Classical, or Uighur Mongolian, say \verb|\usepackage[bicig,...]{mls}|.
+Likewise, complete Manju documents are produced with
+\verb|\usepackage[bithe,...]{mls}|.
+
+If you start a document with a \verb|\usepackage[bicig]{mls}|
+declaration you can still switch back to Latin by issuing an
+\verb|\end{bicigpage}| command.
+
+Likewise, if you start a document with a \verb|\usepackage[bithe]{mls}|
+declaration you can still switch back to Latin by issuing an
+\verb|\end{bithepage}| command.
+
+The following snippet of Mongolian text is presented in full
+page mode on the next pages, first in Simplified Transliteration form, then
+in Uighur form; in order to achieve this result the text had to be
+included in the environment \texttt{bicigpage}.

+\section{Pure Uighur Mongolian and Manju Documents}
+
+Writing a complete document in Mongolian or Manju is as simple and
+straightforward as writing a document in English or Xalx Mongolian.
+
+The example file, \texttt{zanabazr.tex}
+(shipped together with this documentation and located in the
+directory \texttt{../examples/}) demonstrates how a pure
+Mongolian Bicig document can be created.
+
+\begin{figure}[h]
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage[bicig]{mls}
+\begin{document}
+uindur gegen zanabazar.
+
+17||18 d'ugar zagun-u munggul-un neiigem, ulus tuiru,
+shasin-u uiiles-tu, ilangguy=a uralig-un kuikzil-du
+...
+... more text ...
+ ...
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{figure}
+
+The concept is the same for Manju documents: instead of \verb|bicig|
+one would use the \verb|\usepackage[...]{mls}| option \verb|bithe|
+and enter Manju text.
+
+\section{Font Selection Commands}
+
+There are two distinct styles of Mongolian script: one style
+is typically used for modern print, whereas the other style
+appears in old block prints and stone inscriptions.
+
+Since there is no proper correspondance between Latin and Mongolian
+typographical features, a somewhat arbitrary assignment was made
+to the effect that the block print style can be activated by
+setting the font family sans serif with \cmd{sffamily}. In
+contrast, setting the roman default family with \cmd{rmfamily}
+switches back to the modern style.
+
+\begin{figure}
+\exa
+ \mobox{2cm}{\noindent
+ munggul\\
+ \sffamily munggul\\
+ \rmfamily munggul
+ }
+\exb
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ \mobox{2cm}{\noindent
+ munggul\\
+ \sffamily munggul\\
+ \rmfamily munggul}
+ \end{verbatim}
+\exc
+\caption{Mongolian Font Styles}\label{figure:MongolianFontStyles}
+\end{figure}
+
+The same two commands can be applied to Manju, too. In this context
+it makes sense to assign, e.\,g., \verb|\sffamily| to Mongolian and
+\verb|\rmfamily| (which is the default anyway) to Manju. At one
+glance one can tell which writing represents which language.
+
+\textbf{Nota Bene}: The MLS-related Mongolian display commands
+are internally limited to the sans serif, or block print style,
+so that there is always a clear visual distinction possible which
+input mode was chosen.

+\section{\MonTeX\ Mongolian Font Layout}
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+Mongolian and Manju fonts are generated from common sources in
+\texttt{mfinput/bcgbase}. Mongolian-specific material is kept in
+\texttt{mfinput/bicig}, Manju-specific material is kept in
+\texttt{mfinput/bithe}. All Mongolian fonts can be used for RL
+\emph{and} for LR typesetting. Individual font names are best
+described by the following regular expression:
+
+ $$ (bcg|bth|bxg)[hv][sw][mb] $$
+
+Here, \emph{bcg} stands for Mongolian, \emph{bth} for Manju and
+\emph{bxg} for the generic Mongolian glyph container. The next
+letter indicates whether the material is to be typeset
+\emph{h}orizontally or \emph{v}ertically. The next letter indicates
+the typeface: \emph{s}teel or \emph{w}. The last letter indicates a
+\emph{m}edium or \emph{b}old font.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+\section{\texttt{bxg}: A Generic Mongolian Glyph Container}
+
+Besides dedicated fonts for Mongolian and Manju, the \MonTeX\
+font system offers a generic glyph container which is accessible
+through the \LMU\ encoding. The name of this glyph container is
+\texttt{bxg}, and all glyphs (the superset of Mongolian and Manju)
+are available in both font families (block print and modern print
+styles) of the \LMO\ and \LMA\ encodings. Please note that at
+present there is no working ligature mechanism associated with
+\texttt{bxg}; hence it cannot be used for general-purpose text at
+the moment.
+
+In the future, the \texttt{bxg} generic glyph container will
+manage the Unicode interface.
+
+\section{Unicode Mongolian and \MonTeX\label{Unicode}}
+
+In the present version, a first attempt was made to provide Unicode
+compatibility. Please note that at this stage the Unicode of
+\MonTeX\ is purely experimental!
+
+Unicode-encoded Traditional Mongolian is located at
+plane \texttt{U+1800} and contains canonical characters for
+Mongolian, Sibe, Manju and Todo. There is also a rich collection of
+Ali Gali (or Galig) characters used for transliterating Sanskrit,
+Tibetan and other languages into Mongolian, Manju etc.
+
+\MonTeX\ covers a subset of Unicode Traditional Mongolian which is
+sufficient to typeset modern Mongolian and Manju texts as well as a
+choice of Tibetan words transliterated in Manju (as in the Pentaglot
+dictionary, e.\,g.).
+
+At the moment, language-specific groups of Unicode characters are
+mirrored into the related encodings. It is therefore necessary to
+tag the desired language with the \texttt{SetDocumentEncoding<...>}
+command in order to achieve the appropriate ligature behaviour.
+
+The availability of individual Unicode Mongolian characters and
+their canonical names are shown in table~\ref{table:UnicodeMongolian}.
+
+The astute observer will note several discrepancies between the
+official Unicode standard documentation and this particular,
+\emph{experimental} implementation:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Canonical letter shapes differ from those shown in
+ the standard documentation. In context, however, the
+ characters behave as they should.
+
+ \item There is not yet a third MVS in \MonTeX.
+
+ \item The Mongolian front vowels are not yet treated
+ properly.
+
+ \item The complete Todo range of characters is missing.
+
+ \item Most of the Mongolian Ali Gali (Galig) characters
+ are missing; there are, however some Manju Galig
+ characters.
+
+ \item Unicode decided to choose a special space to
+ separate morpheme boundaries; this character is
+ \emph{not} part of the Traditional Mongolian plane
+ (sic!). Also, this character is defined as a
+ non-breaking space, which contrasts with the
+ understanding of the \MonTeX\ authors.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+This list of differences between Unicode Traditional Mongolian and
+\MonTeX\ Mongolian and Manju is incomplete.

+\chapter{External Support Software}
+
+\section{MLS Software}
+
+With \MonTeX, it is still possible to process documents generated
+with the MLS software package. The MLS converter produces Cyrillic
+and Mongolian Script texts out of transliterations using
+the MLS codepage. Documents encoded in MLS can be directly
+processed, no further conversion is necessary.
+
+\section{Simplified Transliteration Converter}
+
+The directory \texttt{../source/} contains a small MLS to Simplified
+Transliteration converter written in Perl. This file can be used
+directly if Perl exists on your system. Perl is available under a
+Public Licence for a huge variety of platforms. Consult CPAN
+(\texttt{www.cpan.org}) for information and downloads.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+
+\chapter{Shortcomings, Bugs and Desiderata}
+
+\section{Hyphenation Patterns}
+
+The Mongolian hyphenation patterns delivered with \MonTeX\ are still
+under development, so please expect occasional hyphenation errors.
+It must be also noted that for proper hyphenation of critical words
+\sh\ should be entered as \verb|\sh|, not as \verb|sh| since the
+first is a character command processed by \LaTeXe\ while the latter
+is a ligature processed by Metafont. If a wrong hyphenation is
+spotted please check first whether the word in question contains
+ligature statements (\verb|sh|, \verb|ya|, \verb|yu| etc.) which
+should then replaced by the proper character commands. It is usually
+sufficient to add a leading back slash and include the entity in
+braces: \verb|{\ya}| is as good as \verb*|\ya |.
+
+Hyphenation patterns for Russian exist but are still to be
+re-encoded in \LMC\ encoding; Buryat hyphenation rules are still to be
+defined.
+
+\section{Retransliteration Problems}
+
+Apart from being incomplete as far as some arcane writing variants
+are concerned, the MLS (Broad Romanization) retransliteration engine
+provided with \MonTeX\ has two serious shortcomings. Firstly, the
+input can only consist of letters, punctuation marks and numbers.
+Any \TeX\ or \LaTeX\ command (including \verb|\"a| for \emph{\"a}
+and friends) makes the retransliteration engine fail. Secondly,
+for large quantities of text, the retransliteration system is
+agonizingly slow.
+
+The Simplified Transliteration is incorporated into a fontencoding,
+\LMO, which can be selected as default encoding. This allows for
+complete freedom of all \LaTeX\ commands but requires an initial
+amount of practise.
+
+\section{Missing Caption Definitions}
+
+The translated captions provided with \MonTeX\ are not completely
+translated at the moment. Notably \tttt{ccname} and
+\tttt{headtoname} are missing in Mongolian and Buryat,
+mainly due to grammatical reasons. This will be fixed in later versions.
+
+
+\section{Page Headers and Text Encodings}
+
+In rare cases it is possible that a \verb|\section| text appearing in
+a header or footer which is supposed to be typeset in Cyrillic letters
+is output in Latin letters. This happens if the text on that very page
+contains encoding selection commands which happen to fall near the
+page boundary. The only remedy is to enclose the argument text in an
+additional \verb|{\mnr ...}| command (or vice versa for Latin).
+
+
+\section{The \texttt{kminch} Font}
+
+The Cyrillic typefaces of \MonTeX\ are completed by inch-high sans
+serif capital letters good for book titles etc. Unfortunately, they
+cannot be used orthogonally with the other fonts in \Tone\ (Latin
+characters) and \LMC\ (Cyrillic characters)
+encoding since their definition is based on \TeX\ primitives rather
+than \LaTeXe's NFSS font selection scheme.
+
+%% \section{The \emph{gamma} and its Shape}
+%%
+%% The original \TeX\ environment only provides an italic gamma
+%% which is intended for the math mode. This gamma is used for
+%% transliterating Mongolian; it does not perfectly blend into roman
+%% text. The \texttt{LGR} Greek font provides a gamma which blends better
+%% with roman text. If \texttt{LGR} Greek is installed on your system then
+%% \MonTeX\ will automatically pick the appropriate fonts.
+%%
+%% \begin{quote}
+%% \begin{verbatim}
+%% \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
+%% %\usepackage[T3,LMS,LMC,T1]{fontenc} % <- Uncomment these lines
+%% \usepackage[latin1]{mls} % if you use the TIPA
+%% %\usepackage[noenc]{tipa} % <- package. Check line 42
+%% [...]
+%% %
+%% % You obtain a nicer `gamma' by uncommenting the following line
+%% % but if you do so make sure the TIPA package gets included.
+%% % You should then uncomment line no. 18 of this file.
+%% %
+%% %\renewcommand{\g}{\textipa{\textgamma}}
+%%
+%% \end{verbatim}
+%% \end{quote}
+%%
+%%
+%% \section{Error Message \texttt{option clash}}
+%%
+%% The interaction of \MonTeX\ with other language support packages for
+%% \LaTeXe\ has not been thoroughly tested and problems may well arise
+%% from using conflicting commands, character presentations etc. One known
+%% constellation causing concern is the \texttt{tipa} package. This
+%% package calls \texttt{fontenc} with its own options with the
+%% potential of producing an option clash. In this case follow the
+%% instructions given in the \texttt{tipa} manual and start the
+%% \texttt{tipa} package with the
+%% \texttt{noenc} option. The following excerpt from a document
+%% preamble is known to work:
+%% \begin{quote}
+%% \begin{verbatim}
+%% \usepackage[T3,LMS,LMC,T1]{fontenc}
+%% \usepackage[latin1]{mls}
+%% \usepackage[noenc]{tipa}
+%% \end{verbatim}
+%% \end{quote}
+%%
+%%
+\section{Problems with PostScript Fonts}
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+Any attempt to compile this document with \texttt{pslatex} or
+declare \tttt{usepackage\{pslatex\}} in the preamble works for the
+bulk of the document but reduces the Cyrillic typefaces to Roman
+only (see tables~\ref{table:SpecialCyrCharacters} and
+~\ref{table:typeface}) and eliminates some of the
+transliteration symbols (see table~\ref{table:shortcuts}). A solution
+has not yet been defined.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+\section{Error Message regarding \tttt{selectlanguage}}
+
+There seem to be differences in the nature of installed \LaTeXe\
+platforms; emtex shows a behaviour different from teTeX with regard
+to pre-loaded language options. On teTeX systems, no error message
+concerning the redefinition of the \texttt{selectlanguage} command
+occurs, on emtex systems such a message may occur if no other
+language support packages are loaded. This error message can be
+safely ignored but the author hopes to find a solution later.
+
+
+\section{Printer Memory Overflow}
+
+Depending on the printing system it may happen that a Printer Memory
+Overflow message is generated when attempting to print this text. So
+far, this happened only on emtex systems running on plain
+\textsf{DOS}. This is an exceptional situation caused by the very
+high number of fonts used for this document. The error message never
+occurred on systems with PostScript postprocessing of the DVI file.
+
+It is very simple and straightforward to reduce the number of
+typeface examples of this document. Near the beginning of the source
+file of this very text, the lines
+
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+% If emtex goofs with (printer) memory overflow
+% when attempting to print this document then
+% set the following number to "1", recompile and
+% increase the number step by step until all
+% examples are printed. The maximum value is 6.
+
+\newcounter{FontSamples}
+\setcounter{FontSamples}{6} % <--- Modify this number!
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+
+can be found. It is now possible to increase the number of printed
+typeface samples step by step until either memory saturation is
+reached or the system manages to print all fonts. In addition, it
+should be noted that printing this documentation for the first time
+may take some time until all fonts are computed.
+
+\section{Error Reports}
+
+Time is a most precious resource and one of the main reasons why the
+authors decided \emph{not} to support other environments than
+\LaTeXe. If \MonTeX\ does not work for you because you use a \LaTeX%
+2.09 installation, or expect to find a working system for plain \TeX\
+support, then the author cannot assist you beyond the advice to
+install the most recent version of \LaTeXe.
+
+If you find a bug or think a feature is missing which you'd like to
+see included then your comments are most welcome. One of the authors
+can be reached by e-mail (\texttt{corff@zedat.fu-berlin.de}), and
+available updates will appear in Infosystem Mongolei
+(\texttt{http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/\~{}corff}). Please check the MLS
+directory for available releases and patches.
+
+
+\section{Outlook and Desiderata}
+
+Unfortunately, some code positions in the Metafont sources of
+\MonTeX\ haven't been frozen yet. In addition, the authors are
+not happy yet with some of the interaction performed by certain
+glyph combinations. This will have to be refined definitely!
+Last but not least, some of the font metrics will undergo further
+tuning which all implies that documents containing Mongolian or
+Manju text should be recompiled once a new version of this software
+is issued.
+
+
+With $\Omega$mega lurking around, \MonTeX\ should actually be obsolete
+work. A unified encoding comprising all Mongolian writings has been
+integrated into Unicode 3.0 and ISO 10646. The author needed a quick
+solution for ongoing lexicographical work (the Pentaglot database,
+that is) and will merge Unicode support with the existing Mon\TeX\
+system later. At a future point, there will also be full-featured
+$\Omega$mega support.
+
+Anyway, whatever the mistakes and the shortcomings are that have
+crept into this system, I can only kindly ask you to blame me.

+\part{Commands in Alphabetical Order\label{CommandReference}}
+
+\chapter{Alphabetical Command Reference}
+
+All user level commands available in \MonTeX\ are given here in
+alphabetical order. Every entry in the following list has up to
+seven sections which are only present if necessary:
+\begin{description}
+ \item [Synopsis] shows the usage of the command;
+ \item [Function] states its purpose and function;
+ \item [Limitations] in functional range, allowed
+ input etc. are stated here;
+ \item [Comments] and additional information about
+ purpose and nature of the command;
+ \item [Related commands] in the command reference;
+ \item [See page] of the main text;
+ \item [Example] shows a typical application. If several
+ related commands have the same usage and
+ command syntax, then only one example is
+ given which is typically found at the first
+ place a command is mentioned. One example
+ is the command for numbering by letters:
+ The commands \verb|\Asbuk|, \verb|\Useg| and
+ \verb|\Uzeg| are similar, and an example is only
+ given under \verb|\Asbuk|.
