Need training about the text format

[cameo]

Hi,

Not sure in which section should I be asking this
It's been a long time I thought of clarifying this, but 'I-might-be-the-only-person here who does'nt know this' thought refrained me.

Here is the q:

When do you exaclty turn on the CAPS lock while writing a text ??

for eg: the below line:

"Eka vastuvAgavE engumAi niraindAyE bhOga mOkSam bhaktarkku purindiDum endan tAyE"


Could some one give a quick training on this.

Thanks

Check this:

Scroll down and you will find the different methods of transliteration -- IAST, Harvard-Kyoto, ITRANS and Velthuis.

We are using Harvard-Kyoto method.

I don't think we're using the Harvard-Kyoto method precisely, but a modified version that also accommodates Dravidian sounds. The official (Sanskrit-exclusive) version uses "R" for the "sonorant", as in "hRdaya", and "L" for the other (rare) sonorant. But I've seen people here using those letters to stand for for the extra "R" in Dravidian languages and the Retroflex Lateral Approximant respectively. The Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard-Kyoto) also specifies "z" where we tend to use "S", and "S" where we tend to use "sh".
