NOTE: Clicking causes each word to be checked for the possibility of changing it to it’s Sanskrit diacritic equivalent by consulting a list of more than 94,000 Sanskrit words! This list was obtained by extracting those Sanskrit words which contain diacritics from Śrila Prabhupāda’s unchanged books, his tape transcriptions, and the Vaiṣṇava Songbook in the form of 4671 .htm files on http://causelessmercy.com/. The words were extracted using a completely automated process. No manual editing was done. Many words can have the diacritics added in more than one way. For example, Krsna could be Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇā, but since Kṛṣṇa is more common, that’s the one that’s automatically used. Sometimes a particular word may appear, on occasion, in the books / tapes / songbook with diacritics, but more commonly without diacritics. Therefore, no diacritics are added in these particular cases.

NOTE: If the “UTF-8” checkbox is checked when is clicked, then the HTML code, after copy / pasting it into Notepad or a similar text editor, must be saved as UTF-8 (with signature) text.

The text box above is a “rich formatting” text box. The following are some of Internet Explorer’s built-in keyboard “shortcuts” which may be used within the text box:

1. “Enter” - New paragraph.

2. “<Shift>Enter” - New line.

3. “<Ctrl>B” - Toggle selected text between bold and nonbold.

4. “<Ctrl>C” - Copy selected text to the clipboard.

5. “<Ctrl>I” - Toggle selected text between italic and nonitalic.

6. “<Ctrl>K” - Make selected text into a link.

7. “<Ctrl>U” - Toggle selected text between underlined and not underlined.

8. “<Ctrl>V” - Replace selected text with the clipboard contents.

9. “<Ctrl>X” - Cut selected text after copying it to the clipboard.

NOTE: Unicode characters may be entered in three different formats. For example, the Greek letter Delta may be entered as “Δ,” as “[Delta],” or as “[#916].” In all three cases, it is translated into HTML as “&Delta;” and will be displayed on the web page as “Δ.” (See “Table of HTML Special Character Designations” - http://llbest.com/HTMLSpecialCharacterTable.htm) Other special codes are as follows: [h2]…[/h2] = header (sample #2), [quote]…[/quote] = quote box (sample #3), [url]…[/url] = web address, [b]…[/b] = bold, [i]…[/i] = italic, [copy] = ©, [reg] = ®, [trade] or ™ = , [sup1] or ¹ = ¹, [sup2] or ² = ², [sup3] or ³ = ³, [dagger] or † = , [Dagger] or ‡ = , ... (3 periods) = … (&hellip;), "…" = “…,” '…' = ‘…’, ' = ’, and :) = .

Clicking causes an HTML “keywords meta” command to be created. All non-bold text, all numbers, and all special characters are deleted. It also separates the bold words/phrases with commas, converts them to non-bold, and puts the result within the meta command.

NOTE: This web page was created using Notepad. In order to speed up the function, it was witten in Perl. Unfortunately, this means that it will not work when saved to your local hard drive.
