xetex-devanagari 0.6

Xetex-devanagari [1] [2] are input mappings (.tec) for convenient LaTeX typesetting of simple Unicode Devanagari (0900-097F [3]) with the PDF-engine XeTeX [4].

Their sources (.map) are to be compiled with the TECkit [5].

The maps are maintained by Daniel Stender [6] please send hints and report problems to: [email protected].

Velthuis maps

velthuis.map, velthuis-sanskrit.map, and devanagarinumerals.map are taken over from the Velthuis packet [7] much thanks to Zdeněk Wagner.

devanagarinumerals.tec is the simplest way to turn automatically generated counters to Devanagari (XeTeX displays the numbers in Devanagari while applications like Xindy could work with the original Arabic numbering).

Since "~" expands to nonbreakable space it's important to set `~=12 in the preamble [8].
