I have just tried the itranslator from
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm#dls

Its a windows program but runs under wine in linux.
It uses the following
. (single) for danda (UCS 964)
.. (double dot) for double danda (965)
\' for udatta (951)
\_ for anudatta (952)
\'' (thats 2 single quotes not (??)

Do you think these can be incorporated?

Thanks
