Thanks Daniel -- that looks useful at some stage of the processing. I was
thinking of concocting something like this myself.
My (current main) use is a bit different however. Its not so much
hand-translation as machine-transliteration.
The below elisp code will apply whatever input-method you put into
rpm-input-method and put the result into a new buffer. After that pasting
the two together into something palatable/presentable is the question. For
now Ive used paste -d'|' and then run it through org's table system to
produce html
-----------------------elisp-----------------------------
(defvar rpm-input-method "devanagari-itrans")
(defun rpm-apply-input-method ()
(interactive)
(let* ((inp (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)))
(filename (file-name-nondirectory (buffer-file-name)))
(outname (concat (file-name-sans-extension filename)
"-hi"
(file-name-extension filename t)))
(p))
(switch-to-buffer-other-frame outname)
(save-excursion
(save-window-excursion
(setq p (point))
(erase-buffer)
(setq buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-input-method rpm-input-method t)
(execute-kbd-macro inp)))
(goto-char p)
(other-frame 1)))
(global-set-key [f4] 'rpm-apply-input-method)
