The addon's dictionary stores RTGS readings in a digit-suffix format (sa2 wat2 di1), where each digit maps to a Thai tone class. Readings can be displayed in two styles:
| Style | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
marks (default) |
chǎn chóp kin khâao phàt mâak khráp |
Digits replaced with conventional tone diacritics on the syllable's vowel |
numbers |
chan5 chop3 kin1 khao3 phat2 mak3 khrap4 |
Raw digit suffix per syllable, as stored in the dictionary |
Tone colours always work from the underlying tone number regardless of which reading system or display style is selected. Switch between Reading systems and styles via Tools → Thai Reading Settings.
A demo page showing all display types, reading types, and tone colours is available in demo/index.html.
Access settings via Tools → Thai Reading Settings or through Anki's add-on config editor.
