Some more things.
If padma needs some specific encoding or specific script to trigger the
transformation, why doesn't padma define some tags for such encodings
and scripts and codify auto-transform on the basis of that.
Please see. encoding is a browser default that we set once and forget.
We can't define encoding for each site/ page, nor does browser remembers
if we had previously set some encoding for some site/page. hence, it is
not convenient if padma gets triggerred on some particular encodings.
Maybe padma could give option to users to create the site/page -
encoding combinations in padma's options so that auto-transformation
gets triggered if the site matches padma's site list and padma can know
the encoding from what padma has saved.
Similarly padma can define tags like <ITRANS></ITRANS> and
auto-transforms pages where these tags are encountered.
Websites who find it helpful to have their contents auto-transformed
through padma might start following it.
And, even if websites don't follow it, padma has grown beyond websites
and people are (at least I am) using padma to convert things to Unicode
by creating html pages, including source text that needs to be
converted. Then I load that in browser and padma should auto transform
it. I will surely use padma defined tags if it helps me in getting what
I want.
I am even ready to use a <PADMA> </PADMA> tag in the pages that I create
for transformation if it helps me.
please give it a thought.
And, why use that hi-fi word TRANSFORM. The net standard for such things
is CONVERT. :-) But no problem, I can live with it.
Thanks for your patience.
