Please see the > code change for Malayalam transliteration in the commit, that function > implements it. hexcode based inputting does not seem to be a valid usecase here. It is very advanced and it is for people know the hexcode of characters. ['\\\\u([0-9a-fA-F]{4})\\\\', '', narayam_ml_unicode_char_convert], // use callback Here the conversion is nothing specific to Malayalam, because we allow any 4 character length hexcodes. Moreover the length 4 rule is unnecessary. All operating systems allow direct unicode inputting. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_input. In Gnome, I can type using hexadecimal characters by control+shift+ u + <hexcode>. > Also callbacks can be used to combine several rules those share some behavior. I agree here. Do you have any patters where this can be used? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
