	<p>The Göttingen Register of Electronic Texts in Indian Languages (GRETIL) is a resource platform providing standardized machine-readable texts in Indian languages that have been contributed by various individuals and institutions.</p>

	 <p>Apparent errors have been silently corrected.</p>
	</correction>

	<normalization>
	 <p>GRETIL normalizes all texts contributed consistently for each language.
	 Sanskrit texts are normalized in accordance with the scheme of the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST) in order to facilitate word search across its corpus without additional transformations.</p>

	 <p>All characters that were fully equivalent to an IAST-conformant character in the text file contributed have been made to conform to the character list below.
	 Non-conformant characters with additional information including accents, capitalization, and whitespace have been preserved as <gi>orig</gi> elements inside <gi>choice</gi> elements with their IAST-conformant equivalent in <gi>reg</gi> elements for the creation of a plain text.
	 These additional informations will be available only in those transformations of this file that display the original information.</p>
