'GRKTEXedt' - Tamil tex editor for scientific typesetting and for Latex output

Abstract

TEX is an ASCII text-based markup language. In a scheme of automated scientific document preparation LATEX provides the foundation, which is also a markup language created from TEX. In this work a user-friendly editor was developed integrating the Tamil text-based ASCII characters with the Tamil LATEX characters via character mapping process. These conversions of Tamil text-based fonts have been interfaced with the LATEXengine to produce LATEX output such as DVI, PDF and PS.
