Editor

There is a reference implementation of Bongolipi in a Java based RTF Editor with some basic formating support. The features:

  • File Operations:
    • RTF (Rich Text Format) files can be opened and saved
    • Contents can be exported to PDF and HTML
    • File can be printed
  • Edit Operations
    • Undo, Redo
    • Cut, Copy, Paste
    • Special paste operation for on the fly transliteration
  • Formating Operations
    • Text highlighting with bold, italics and underline
    • Text justification (Justification cannot be preserved in saved RTF file in this version)
  • Other operations
    • Reverser transliteration to retreive roman text from bengali text

The editor is designed in such a way that new font supports can be added with minimal effort. We expect to provide more Bengali font support in the coming days.
