However, this set can +be used to produce hyphenation patterns for typesetting Greek with +the "ibycus" option of "babel" (package "ibycus-babel") or with +Omega/lambda (package "antomega"). + +The hyphenation patterns for "ibycus" (for ancient Greek *only*) +can be produced by running a perl script on "grahyph.tex". The +perl script has been written by Peter Heslin (p.j.heslin@dur.ac.uk) +as part of his "ibycus-babel" package. + +The hyphenation patterns for Omega/lambda (files "ogr*.tex") can be +produced by running a perl script on "grahyph.tex", "grahyph.tex" +and "grahyph.tex". The perl script has been written by Apostolos +Syropoulos (apostolo@obelix.ee.duth.gr) as part of the "antomega" +package. THESE PATTERNS HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED. ANY FEEDBACK IS +WELCOME! + +This package supersedes all previous versions found in CTAN. A more +detailed description of how hyphenation of Greek works (in English) +is presented in the TUG2004 conference and is included in the +conference proceedings (to be published by Springer in the series +Lecture Notes in Computer Science). + +Possible caveats: + +1) You may not get proper hyphenation in paragraphs with mixed +Greek and non-Greek text. This is a known TeX problem. Using eTeX +(or the latest LaTeX releases which are based on eTeX) can resolve +this problem. -- Bug reported by Peter Heslin (p.j.heslin@dur.ac.uk) + +2) Initial accentuated vowels may not be hyphenated under Omega/ +lambda: e.g., under Omega/lambda, the word ">aet'oc" (eagle) may be +be hyphenated as ">ae-t'oc" instead of ">a-e-t'oc". To fix this +problem I must add an extra series of hyphenation patterns in the +original "gr?hyph.tex" and then convert them to "ogr?hyph.tex". But +this way I would mess my original "gr?hyph.tex" and I don't want to +do that. -- Bug reported by Alexej Krioukov (akrioukov@newmail.ru) + +Acknowledgements + +The author wishes to thank all those mentioned who have contributed +directly and indirectly to the creation of these pattern files: +C. Beccari, K. Dryllerakis, Y. Haralambous, P. Heslin, S. Konstandatos +A. Krioukov and A.
