<?php
$pagename = 'Baraha Kannada IME Keyboard Help';
$pagetitle = $pagename;
// Header we will tidy up later
require_once('header.php');
?>

<p>Type Kannada using Latin letters. The keyboard converts what you type into Kannada script as you go,
following the Baraha transliteration scheme. For example, <b>namaskAra</b> becomes
<span class="kn">ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ</span>.</p>
<p>This project intends to extend the Baraha transliteration functionality of the Mac OS app Lipika-IME to other operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux).</p>

<h2>How to type</h2>

<p>Type each Kannada word the way it sounds. The text changes into Kannada as you type:
<b>k</b> shows <span class="kn">ಕ್</span>, then <b>a</b> turns it into <span class="kn">ಕ</span>,
and another <b>a</b> makes it <span class="kn">ಕಾ</span>.</p>

<ul>
<li><b>Capital letters matter.</b> <b>t</b> is <span class="kn">ತ</span> but <b>T</b> is <span class="kn">ಟ</span>;
<b>e</b> is <span class="kn">ಎ</span> but <b>E</b> is <span class="kn">ಏ</span>.</li>
<li><b>ಒತ್ತಕ್ಷರಗಳು (ottakSharas) form automatically.</b> Type consonants one after another: <b>kSh</b> gives <span class="kn">ಕ್ಷ</span>,
<b>dr</b> gives <span class="kn">ದ್ರ್</span>.</li>
<li><b>Word endings.</b> A word ending in a consonant shows a virama (<span class="kn">್</span>)
until you type the final vowel: <b>raam</b> is <span class="kn">ರಾಮ್</span>, <b>raama</b> is <span class="kn">ರಾಮ</span>.</li>
<li><b>Separating letters.</b> Type an apostrophe between letters that would otherwise combine:
<b>k'ha</b> gives <span class="kn">ಕ್ಹ</span> instead of <span class="kn">ಖ</span>.</li>
</ul>
