Technicalities

***** Completely based on free-softwares*****

This has become possible after the development of the package bangtex by Palash B. Pal.

I have used the 1973 edition of Gitobitan (Visva Bharati) and also used the information available in the 1987 edition of the collected works published by the West Bengal Gov.  Unfortunately, there are discrepancies.  These have been pointed out.

On clicking a title (first line entry), the request is handled by a small perl script.  It basically (i) creates a latex file with proper headers and the text, (ii) processes it,   and (iii) delivers the output.
You may opt for pdf  (click on the first line entry) or png  (click on png).

"png"  option gives the output in png image format.

The source tex files are also available by clicking on "src".

Following packages are used:
colordvi, color, supertabular, colortbl,   hyperref,  and, of course, bangtex

Pdf output is created by pdflatex
Click for Gitobitan          Or Click here to search gitobitan.

Search uses the latex files stripped of all the tex-nicalities, and uses grep of gnu. In the modified search, an "extended regular expression" is created out of the given string, anchoring on the consonants and full vowels. Flexibility allows the common dual usage of ch/c, sh/S etc.
