{\large\bf Using the Tibetan Font with \LaTeX}
\end{center}

\noindent
\LaTeX \ commands are available outside the Tibetan mode only.
The two characters \%\%\ \underline{must} precede
text that is to be processed by the Tibetan Parser.  They effect a font
change into Tibetan, begin spacing and punctuation according to Tibetan
rules, and allow control over output using the special characters
described here.  At the end of Tibetan text, these two characters
\underline{must} appear again.  \LaTeX \ expects white space to
precede and follow these font change characters.

\medskip
\noindent
The following characters are embedded in the text to access
the Tibetan Parser and font:

\begin{description}
\item[/] \hspace{\parindent}  -- the Tibetan {\em shad}: \bgroup\tibetan \def\u#1{\vtop{\baselineskip0pt\hbox{#1}\hbox{\tibsp\char123}}}\hyphenpenalty=10000\parindent=0pt \newbox\fillerbox\setbox\fillerbox\hbox{\vrule height0.4cm depth0.4cm width0pt}\def\filler{\copy\fillerbox}\filler\tibsp\char115\hskip1cm plus1cm minus.5cm\tibetan
\egroup  As
many of these may be used as desired.  The last one followed by white
space produces a long space.
\item[!] \hspace{\parindent} -- the Tibetan {\em tsheg shad}: \bgroup\tibetan \def\u#1{\vtop{\baselineskip0pt\hbox{#1}\hbox{\tibsp\char123}}}\hyphenpenalty=10000\parindent=0pt \newbox\fillerbox\setbox\fillerbox\hbox{\vrule height0.4cm depth0.4cm width0pt}\def\filler{\copy\fillerbox}\filler\tibsp\char121\hskip1cm plus1cm minus.5cm\tibetan
\egroup 
Only one of these may be used at the end of a clause.  It effects the
same long space as the {\em shad}.

\noindent
The normal way of marking paragraphs in \LaTeX \ is to double space.  The
effect of this in the Tibetan mode is to terminate a line and begin a
new line.  This produces a ragged right and is useful for making lists
in Tibetan.  \end{document}
