boesp `<ls>`

[funderburkjim]

There are many literary source references in the footnotes and corrections of boesp.

These are coded in boesp.all_ansi.txt using all capital latin letters. The author uses a version of IAST that is coded in a unique way in the digitization:

• Letters followed by numbers represent diacritics (e.g. N5 represents Ñ).
• Some of the author's representation differs from current IAST, and we probably want to change to modern IAST. e.g. JOGAVA1SISHT2HASA1RA -> YOGAVA1SISHT2HASA1RA
• 600+ ls instances are currently preceded by the <ls> tag (without closing </ls> tag).
  • these should be given a closing </ls> tag
• ALL the ls references should be tagged as <ls>X</ls>.
  • where an ls reference text spans 2 lines of digitization, the digitization should be altered so the full text occurs on 1 line. Example S4A1RN5G. PADDH. SUBHA1SH. (in F105)
• In the UTF-8 version of boesp.all_ansi.txt, the number-letter coding needs to be converted to UNICODE.
• A listing of full titles for the abbreviation LS references needs to be developed. Does the author provide such a list in boesp print? If not, the PWK list can be used to help develop such a list for boesp.

I prefer to drop the tag and tag the literaray references after correcting and

Boehtlingk does not provide a list of LS because, using the LS in of boesp presupposes a knowledge of Sanskrit and (therefore) access to pwk.

[funderburkjim]

to drop the tag and tag the literaray references after correcting

Sounds fine to me.

@thomasincambodia -- I find that latest commit (commit hash starts with ffa74d729, per git log) has removed all the <ls>, as expected.

@funderburkjim,

There is one odd-man ls word RA120JANi1TI at <F>3737, which should've been RA1JANI1TI.

Does the author provide such a list in boesp print?

Boehtlingk does not provide a list of LS

I see that all the three Indische Spruche tomes, as also the two Melanges Asiatiques supplements, did mention the referred works (in the beginning pages). [Of course, as usual everywhere else, there could be some additional sources not explicitly mentioned in the books, but cited inside.]

[funderburkjim]

The file boesp_auth_v0.txt contains the abbreviations of referred works as listed in volumes 1-3.

I don't see similar lists in 4.1 and 4.2 pdfs -- What source names from these two Melanges Asiatiques supplements should be added to the boesp_auth_v0 file?
