= Hyphenation Script and language features =
The hyphenation patterns for the following languages are included in ConTeXt:
= Sanskrit Transliteration =
Transliteration of '''Sanskrit''' from IAST to Devanagari and vice-versa as well as from and to other Indic languages is available in ConTeXt. The following transliteration schemes are supported with more planned:
{|cellpadding="4"!style="width: 65%; text-align: left;" | Transliteration Scheme!style="text-align: left;" | Vector
|-
|Devanagari to IAST
|IAST to Devanagari
|<code>iast to deva</code>
|-
|ITrans to Devanagari
|<code>itrans to deva</code>
|-
|Devanagari to Malayalam
|Devanagari to Telugu
|<code>deva to tlgu</code>
|-
|Devanagari to Gujarati
|<code>deva to gujr</code>
|-
|Devanagari to Bengali
|<code>deva to bngl</code>
|}
The main macro to set up a transliteration is {{cmd|definetransliteration}}.
== IAST A simple example == {{todo|add details of some mappings}}
<texcode>
\stoptext
</texcode>
Please note that there is also {{cmd|resettransliteration}} which can be used in stream to (temporarily) prevent any transliteration.
== Exceptions ==
Sometimes, one might want to leave retain words or phrases in the original script and avoid transliteration. To this end, {{cmd|transliterationexception}} may be used to define such exceptions
* at the level of a transliteration scheme, i.e., per <code>vector</code> as in:
<texcode>
\transliterationexception[deva to iast]{शरीरं}{देहं}
</texcode>
* and/or at the instance level, i.e., per transliteration block define with {{cmd|definetransliteration}} as in:
<texcode>
\transliterationexception[TrDevaToIAST]{शरीरं}{देहं}
</texcode>
When both are defined, the latter overrides the former. Moreover, any derived transliteration instances also inherit the exceptions defined for the parent. So, if any exceptions are to be avoided/changed, they must be redefined for the derived instances.
== Source with transliterated version ==
Very often, one wants to typeset paragraphs in the original script ''accompanied'' by a transliterated version. This can be achieved using the <code>before</code> key of {{cmd|definetransliteration}}. A simple example is as follows:
<texcode>
\usetransliteration[indic]
\setuplines[indenting={yes,small,even}]
\definebuffer
[padya]
\definetransliteration
[padyaPair]
[color=blue,
vector={deva to iast},
before={\startlines\getbuffer[padya]\par},
after=\stoplines]
\starttext
\startbuffer[padya]
कोऽतिभारः समर्थानां किं दूरं व्यवसायिनाम्।
को विदेशस्तु विदुषां कः परः प्रियवादिनाम्॥
\stopbuffer
\startpadyaPair
\getbuffer[padya]
\stoppadyaPair
What is a burden for the abled, and what is faraway (beyond reach) to the
perservering? What is a foreign land to the learned and who are strangers to
the sweet-spoken? (None!)
\stoptext
</texcode>
In summary: one defines a buffer which contains the paragraph (a verse in this example) in the original script. Then, using the <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> keys of {{cmd|definetransliteration}}, a pair of verses may be easily typeset into lines.
