DESCRIPTION
This program processes a text file with special Vietnamese character
sequences (VIQR syntax) giving an output suitable for groff(1) process‐
ing. The output should work for all point sizes supported by groff(1)
The default diacritical marks are defined as:
Dau_Sac ´
Dau_Huyen `
Dau_Hoi ?
Dau_Nga ~
Dau_Nang .
Dau_Mu ^
Dau_Trang (
Dau_Rau +
Escape_Symbol \
SPELLING RULES
Only one diacritical mark:
vowel followed by symbol
Two diacritical marks:
vowel followed by Dau_Mu, Dau_Trang, Dau_Rau then other symbols.
DD and dd: self-explanatory,
the resulting case is the same as the first character of the
sequence.
The Escape_Symbol is provided to avoid the confusion between the dia‐
critical marks and end-of-sentence symbols.
i.e: the question Anh ddi dda^u?
should be typed Anh ddi dda^u\?
