Primary content of the Tipitaka sourcefiles are captured in Devanagari script and stored in ==deva_master== folder. Any updates needed in the tipitaka text (corrections, typo errors, etc.) are carried out in Devanagari script.

A C# conversion script is then run to generate the transliterated text for all othe supported scripts (see code/converters).

For addition of new content, e.g. in the Anna section, an additional processing is required, i.e. new text files are created in Markdown MD fommat. Then a Python script is then run to covnert the markdown file into an xml file (see the Python script in /code/md2xmlconverter).
