A multi-map is a specialized version of a Unicode Map. It is used in font remapping applications to take a single input file, and map it to one or more output font sets. The hierarchy of the mapping can be controlled at run-time from the command line. As each UTF-16 or UTF-32 character is processed, TextPipe first checks if it is marked as INVARIANT. If so, TextPipe scans languages in MULTIMAPORDER sequence for the first language with a non-blank entry, and outputs it without a language change sequence. If the character is not INVARIANT, TextPipe scans languages in MULTIMAPORDER sequence for the first language with a non-blank entry, outputting a language change sequence if required, the found value, and then resets the current language. The Excel spreadsheet has individual UTF-16 Unicode hex code points in the left column (e.g. 0021, 003c), and a series of values in named columns or language families to the right (e.g. 01, 08, 09), starting at column 3. By setting the order that the languages are used (using MULTIMAPORDER), the same Excel spreadsheet can be used to map to different output languages. Here is an example Excel multi-map:
The multi-map order command line options specifies the precedence order given to the columns. The first column specified is called the primary. If only the primary is specified, then the remaining columns are used in left-to-right order (ignoring the primary column). If two or more columns are specified, then only those columns are searched for values. See also
