Sixth Buddhist Council Tipiṭaka (Chaṭṭhasaṅgītipiṭaka) — Unicode corpus

A searchable, cross-referenced Unicode corpus of the official Sixth Buddhist Council (Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana) recension of the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka with its Aṭṭhakathā (commentaries) and Ṭīkā (subcommentaries) — 118 volumes, 89,512 paragraphs — converted from the legacy VZTimes-font edition published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Yangon (Pāḷi Series, romanised 2008 from the Myanmar version of 2001). Includes structural extraction anchored to the printed page (pages, paragraphs, suttas), 54,036 variant readings and 27,153 cross-references transcribed from the printed footnote apparatus with their sigla, and cross-layer paragraph linking. Counts are taken from site/<VOL>.json and site/reader/apparatus/ and can be re-derived from the deposit itself. New in 2.5.0: no text changed. The 118 volumes, 89,512 paragraphs, 54,036 variant readings and 27,153 cross-references are identical to 2.3.0 and 2.4.0; the paragraph figure was re-counted from the deposit, not carried forward. What changed is the reader: the printed footnote apparatus now reaches the page — markers restored where a bold lemma or a closing bracket broke them, and each printed page's notes drawn at the foot of that page — and both search interfaces answer multi-word and phrase queries, take a * wildcard, name the book of every result from the edition's own title stacks, list results Pāḷi → Aṭṭhakathā → Ṭīkā, and filter by layer. Every change is guarded by checks that drive the real reader and were made to fail on the build carrying the bug. New in 2.4.0: no text changed. The 118 volumes, 89,512 paragraphs, 54,036 variant readings and 27,153 cross-references are identical to 2.3.0, and a citation of either names the same text. What changed is that the dictionary stores moved out of the published site and are served from a separate origin, taking the site from 26,576 published files to 1,977. The stores remain inside this deposit — all 24,599 files — and the reader falls back to that copy when the serving origin cannot be reached, so an archived copy of this record still has working dictionaries with or without it. New in 2.3.0: four Khuddaka commentaries re-segmented against the printed page (20KhuA01, 21KhuA02, 23KhuA04, 24KhuA05 — 460 paragraphs become 3,607); a canon paragraph's commentary is now served as the whole printed range rather than its first paragraph; and the first checks that compare the corpus against the printed page rather than against itself. This is not the VRI / Igatpuri (CST) digital edition, which is a different recension with its own editorial layer. Where the two differ, this corpus follows the official printed edition.
