Bonjour, When writing a Sanskrit text, there are (at least) two ways: roman transliteration, or devanagari.
In a transliterated text, there are much more blank spaces between "words" than in a devanagari text. I would like to be able to have only one file for a text and choose either transliteration or devanagari. Is it possible to have some active character which separates "words" in the file and this character will give a blank space, if I choose tranliteration, and will give a null space if I choose devanagari, but a null space which allows ligature if necessary. For instance, in the file we have: tasmād_dhetor_bijasya and we get, after compilation: tasmād dhetor bījasya (in transliteration) or तस्माद्धेतोर्बीजस्य (in devanagari) (I have chosen underscore as the active character, but it is not the best idea...)
