The following +pages are intended to be a quick tutorial on the package and not a +detailed account of the package. It is assumed that the \greektex\ +package is already installed at you site and both the greek format +file (|greek.fmt|) and the alternative \greektex\ macros +(|greektex.tex|) are accesible to the user. We also assume that all +the recomended |kd| fonts exist in the font path. If this is not the +case please consult the installation procedure document which gives +all the information needed to install the package in your site. In +the discussion to follow, more \TeX nical material is presented in a +finer print. + +\section{The Greek Mode And Fonts} + + In order to typeset greek text, you have to advise \TeX\ to +enter a ``Greek Mode''\footnt{The idea of a ``greek environment'' was first +introduced by Sylvio Levi in his greek fonts; the top level macros of +our package are inherited from this first approach.}. Entering the +greek mode is achieved by typing |\begingreek| at the position were +we want the greek text to begin. The greek mode will be active until +an |\endgreek| is typed, when we return to the previous state. Inside +the greek mode, the latin characters typed correspond to the greek +alphabet and diacritic marcs. The family changing commands (|\sl|, +|\bf|, |\tt|, |\it|) are automatically switched to correspond to the +proper greek font families and the classical greek font corresponds +to the |\gr| or |\rg| command. Roman letters are still available +through the |\rm| and |\l|{\it oldsequence\/} commands (e.g. |\lsl|). +When we re-enter the greek mode, the font used last is remembered and +typesetting continues from the state we left of in the previous greek +mode. +\beginFine + \TeX nically, entering the greek mode means {\it i\/}. to redifine the +|\catcode| values for several characters (mostly accents and +breathing symbols), {\it ii\/}. to declare that we are currently +typesetting in greek and use the correct hyphenation tables, {\it +iii\/}. switch to the point size and font used last, and {\it iv\/}. +redifine the control sequences corresponding to font family switching +(e.g. |\sl| etc.). +\endFine +The font families that are currently avaible are all based on the +original designs by Sylvio Levi and Haralambous. The families (and +the corresponding font switching commands) are: classical greek +(|\gr| or |\rg|), slanted greek (|\sl|), greek italics (|\it|), +boldface greek (|\bf|) and typewriter greek (|\tt|). Remember that +these families are only available inside greek mode. +\beginFine + A set of point-setting commands are made available from the +greek format. Three sizes are prespesified for ten, nine, and eight +points respectevly. The corresponding commands are |\grtenpoint|, +|\grninepoint|, and |\greightpoint|. Since not all fonts exist in the +sizes need, scaled fonts are used instead. Remeber that re-entry in +the greek mode means picking up from exactly where we previously left +i.e. from the same point size. If point-size changes are to remain +local the user is encouraged to enclose them in groups. + + The real names for the control sequences switching to greek +font families are |\gr|, |\git|, |\gsl|, |\gbf|, |gtt|. These +commands can be used even outside greek mode to typeset greek short +texts but it is not recomended. Note that the \LaTeX\ version of +\greektex\ (the greek style file |greek.sty|) uses only these font +changing commands. +\endFine +Since the commands |\begingreek| and |\endgreek| can be quite tedious +to repeat, they can be both substituted either by the character |$| or +{\tt\|} if at the beginning of your file you specify +|\greekdelims{dollar}| or |\greekdelims{bar}| repsectively. In case +the |$| character is used, math mode is accessed by the control +sequence |\math|. + +\section{The Greek Alphabet} + + Since \TeX\ was designed to help portability of files, most +implemetations support only 128 character input (file transfer is +also based on the 128 ascii set). That means we have to use the Latin +alphanumeric characters to represent the greek ones. The following +scheme is used to represent greek characters inside the greek mode: +\math\math +\hbox{\valign{ + \hbox to 10pt{\hfil\strut$#$\hfil}&\hbox to 10pt{\hfil\strut\tt#\hfil}\cr + a&a\cr b&b\cr g&g\cr d&d\cr e&e\cr z&z\cr h&h\cr j&j\cr + i&i\cr k&k\cr l&l\cr m&m\cr n&n\cr x&x\cr o&o\cr p&p\cr + r&r\cr c&s\cr t&t\cr u&u\cr f&f\cr q&q\cr y&y\cr w&w\cr + c&c\cr}} +\math\math +\beginFine + It is a common practise in Greece to substitue the characters +corresponding to the higher +ascii codes by greek characters so that users are able to see the +greek characters directly on the screen. It is fairly easy to write a +program to transform any such ascii output to the corresponding +``latin'' representation of the greek characters and feed it directly +to \TeX 's mouth. For example such a translation program is supplied +with the current distribution of the em\TeX\ package for DOS based +machines. +\endFine + +\section{Accents, Breathing And Punctuation} + + Three different accents are encountered in greek texts. In +order to accent a vowel simply type |'|, |`|, or |~| to get an acute, +grave or circumflex accent repsectively. Breathing signs are achieved +in the same way by preceding the vowel (and any accent that it may +have) with |<| for rough and |>| for +smooth breathing. Breathings can also be used before a greek rho +($r$). Iota subscript is achieved by typing {\tt \|} {\it after\/} +vowel. The diairesis sign is achieved by presiding a (maybe accented) +vowel by |"|. Greek punctutation marcs are achieved according to the +following table: +\math\math +\hbox{\valign + {\hbox to 15pt{\hfil\strut$#$\hfil}&\hbox to 15pt{\hfil\strut\tt#\hfil}\cr + .&.\cr ,&,\cr ;&;\cr :&:\cr !&!\cr ?&?\cr ''&''\cr ((&((\cr ))&))\cr}} +\math\math +For example, concider the following quotation from Xenophon : +\bigskip +{\narrower\narrower\noindent$>En o>udem'ia g'ar p'olei t`o b`eltiston e>'unoun >est`i t~w| +d~hmw|, >all`a t`o k'akiston >en <ek'asth| >est`i p'olei e>'unoun +t~w| d~hmw|; o<i g'ar <'omoioi to~ic <omo'ioic e>'unoi e>isi.$\par} +\bigskip +\noindent was typeset by \par +\medskip +\math\math +\vbox{\advance\hsize by-40pt\parindent=0pt\noindent +\obeylines +|>En o>udem'ia g'ar p'olei t`o b`eltiston e>'unoun >est`i t~w|{\tt\|} +|d~hmw|{\tt\|}|, >all`a t`o k'akiston >en <ek'asth|{\tt\|}| >est`i| +|p'olei e>'unoun t~w|{\tt\|}| d~hmw|{\tt\|}|; o<i g'ar <'omoioi to~ic| +|<omo'ioic e>'unoi e>isi.| +} +\math\math +\noindent Note the use of punctuation and breathing marks before the +vowels. +\beginFine +All accents and breathings are recognised as normal letters insode +the greek mode. They will print for themselves when they stand alone +but form ligatures when preciding a vowel. The ligatures do all the +work for us; the kerning between accents or breathing and capital +vowels is also done through kerning. This simplifies the macros used +and the greek character set is usable with only a few |\catcode| +definitions. All the rest of the mechanisms supplied in the greek +format are only to facilitate the usage of the fonts in standard text +and macro creation. +\endFine + +\section{Hyphenation} + + If you are working with the greek format file, then correct +hyphenation is assured for greek text. The hyphenation patterns +supplied in the file are the ones compiled by Haralambous in France. +If you are working with the file |greektex.tex| then no hyphenation +patterns are loaded; this fact makes the macros of |greektex.tex| +suitable for only small greek texts. \greektex, takes full advantage +of the multilingual characteristics of \TeX\ version 3.0 or higher by +declaring a new language and identifying the correct patterns for this +new language. The result is correct hyphenation for texts containing +both greek and latin texts. +\beginFine +In case you want to use \greektex with another multilingual package, +it is important to find out the limitation of your \TeX version. It +is possible that the number of allowed hyphenation patterns exceeds +the number needed. Remember that plain \TeX\ uses 4447 patterns and +\greektex\ needs a futher 1170. + +It is possible to see the proposed hyphenation for a word using a +macro similar to |\showhyphens| (supplied with plain \TeX). The macro +|\showgreekhyphens| can be used succesfully only inside greek mode. +This is due to the fact that the argument for the macro has to be +scanned with the correct |\catcode| values active. +\endFine +\bigskip +% +%%%% TEST + +\section{Building Macros} + + Let us now turn to some examples that will demonstrate the +use of the \greektex\ macros within your own definitions. + +%% Define macros for the current section + +\def\verse#1#2{\line{#1\hfil#2}} + + +\setbox\exbox=\vtop{\hrule height0pt +\hrule\hbox{\vrule\kern6pt\vbox{\kern6pt% + \vbox{\hsize=7truecm + $\greightpoint + \centerline{\bf PALAIOJEN ELLHNIS} + \smallskip + \verse{Kauqi'etai <h >Anti'oqeia}{gi`a t`a lampr'a thc kt'iria,} + \verse{ka`i to'uc <wra'iouc thc dr'omouc;}{gi`a t`hn per`i a>ut'hn} + \verse{jaum'asian >exoq'hn,}{ka`i gi`a t`o m'ega pl~hjoc} + \verse{t~wn >en a>ut~h| kato'ikwn.}{Kauqi'etai po`u e>~in'' <h <'edra} + \verse{>end'oxwn basil'ewn;}{ka`i gi`a to`uc kallit'eqnac} + \verse{ka`i to`uc sofo'uc po`u >'eqei,}{ka`i gi`a to`uc bajuplo'utouc} + \verse{ka`i gnwstiko`uc >emp'orouc.}{M`a pi`o pol`u >asugkr'itwc} + \verse{>ap'' <'ola, <h >Anti'oqeia}{kauqi'etai po`u e>~inai p'olic} + \verse{palai'ojen <ellhn'ic;}{to~u >'Argouc suggen'hc:} + \verse{>ap'' t`hn >I'wnh po`u}{<idr'ujh <up`o >Arge'iwn} + \verse{>apo'ikwn pr`oc tim`hn}{t~hc k'orhc to~u >In'aqou.} + \bigskip + \leftline{K.

The peculiar format is the original one required +by the poet. It is immediatly apparent that a command taking two +arguments can be used to typeset each verse; the arguments will be +the left and right part of each verse. The only important problem +encountered is the following: when \TeX\ is reading the +arguments of a command, it immedietly assigns |\catcode| values to +the tokens read. So, if the correct |\catcode| values are not active +at the time the arguments are scanned, \TeX\ is much confused. +Consequently, macros that take as arguments greek text must be called +from within greek mode.

The example is taken from the book +{\it Classical Mechanics\/} by T.W.B. Kibble in its greek +translation. Let us suppose that we are trying to typeset this book; +how would we go about to build the macros needed? First of all we +will be using a lot of math formulae and therefore we are in +desperate need of the start and end math symbol. Since we are using +modern greek and no iota ligatures are needed, we can redifine the +bar {\tt\|} to stand for the begin and end greek by +|\greekdelims{bar}|. This might turn out to be convenient if we +want to include latin words in the text.

It is possinble that in certain +cases, greek mode will be the dominant mode. To switch to a permenant +greek mode use the command |\setgreek|. If you want to restore the +original \TeX\ mode (including restoring any reassignents of |$| or +{\tt\|}) use the command |\setlatin|. +\beginFine + These commands are based on the internal commands +|\gr@@km@de| and |\l@tinmode|. Both define the |\catcode|s for the +mode. A macro-builder can use them to create different environments +e.g. a command to switch to english from a global greek mode. Just +remeber that you will be on your own so you will have to switch to +the enclish language manually by a command |\language0|. +\endFine + +\bye + |
