Currently , with devanagari-itran, you must type ".."
(double periods) to insert "।".  As I'm not the author of
this input method, I don't if ".." is the standard way to
input "।".  Could you show me a source that tells "|" is the
standard way for "।" in ITRANS?

I have just tried the itranslator from http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm#dls

Its a windows program but runs under wine in linux.
It uses the following
. (single) for danda (UCS 964)
.. (double dot) for double danda (965)
\' for udatta (951)
\_ for anudatta (952)
\'' (thats 2 single quotes not (??)

Do you think these can be incorporated?

Thanks
