document source more readable for non-\LaTeX\ users and to make more

+One major issue with this package is that it does \emph{not} map input
+and output correct with respekt to the Unicode standards. However it
+makes some \emph{available} UTF-8 input provide some \emph{desired}

+As the applied support for say the mathemathical greek letters of

+The package is \emph{hack}-ish by nature. Thus the use of this
