Baxter MC as a transcription option?

Hi,
I know this might not be a big feature amongst the general user base of pleco, but I imagine a good amount of the power users would like this sort of feature. I've been recently trying to learn to read Mandarin and Classical Chinese in Baxter transcription, so this would be a really nice feature. Baxter made a point to make the character pronunciation data free of copyright so it could be adapted and used freely. The data could either be grabbed from the dictionary, wiktionary, or I imagine there are other sources.

I often use this website for getting transcriptions of text: https://nk2028.shn.hk/tshet-uinh-autoderiver/
would be nice to be able to do something similar natively within Pleco's reader.

Yeah, I can't promise it'll be immediately supported but a big part of the very slow next 4.0 beta has been making it really easy to pick an arbitrary reading system and elevate it to whatever level of priority you want in the reader etc, so if Baxter doesn't make it in the initial list of systems we support that for it'll probably come soon enough after.
