[Tugindia] Tamil typing in latex

Wed Aug 28 00:16:16 CEST 2013

Texmaker is unicode compliant. I am using version 4.0.3. And CVR's sample
document is working fine. At the lower right end of the texmaker window,
ensure that you have *UTF-8* enabled. If not, go to *Options -> Configure
Texmaker -> Editor *and choose* Editor Font Encoding* as *UTF-8. *Then it
should work fine.
