+:Abstract: This package provides input encoding definition
+ files for Greek for use with inputenc_.
+
+
+News
+====
+
+:May 2013: * new maintainer.
+ * Unicode support with the standard "utf8" option.
+
+Files
+=====
+
+`<lgrenc.dfu>`_
+ Greek input encoding file for UTF-8 comprising Greek letters and other
+ symbols present in the LGR encoding.
+
+ This file requires ``lgrenc.def`` version 0.8.2 or newer from the
+ greek-fontenc_ package.
+
+ The literate source was converted with PyLit_ to reStructuredText_ and
+ with Docutils_ to `<lgrenc.dfu.html>`_.
+
+`<iso-8859-7.def>`_
+ Greek input encoding file for `ISO 8859-7`_ by Apostolos Syropoulos.
+ [#transliteration]_
+
+`<macgreek.def>`_
+ Greek input encoding file for Macintosh (ELOT 823) by Dimitrios Filippou.
+ [#transliteration]_
+
+Test examples and output:
+ :utf-8: `<test-utf8.tex>`_, `<test-utf8.pdf>`_ (comprehensive example)
+ :iso 8859-7: `<test-iso-8859-7.tex>`_, `<test-iso-8859-7.pdf>`_ (basic test)
+
+
+.. [#transliteration] Currently, these files translate to a Latin
+ transcription particular to the LGR font encoding. Drawbacks include:
+ Latin characters in PDF strings (hyperref_ bookmarks and TOC sidebar, cf.
+ greekhyperref.pdf__), no kerning between accented characters.

+
+Installation
+============
+
+If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation
+manager.
+
+Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the files ending in ``.def``:
+
+* Download and unpack `greek-inputenc.zip` or just download the required
+ file(s).
+
+* Copy, move, or link the files to a suitable place in the `TeX Directory
+ Structure` (TDS_) and run ``texhash``, or place them in the current working
+ directory (e.g. for testing).
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Pass the encoding name as option to inputenc_. For example ::
+
+ \usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}
+
+The "utf8" option only defines characters that are accessible in declared
+font encodings. In order to load the Greek definitions in ``lgrenc.dfu``,
+specify the LGR font encoding with fontenc_ or the "greek" or
+"polutonikogreek" options for babel_, e.g. ::
+
+ \usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc}
+ \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+
+or ::
+
+ \usepackage[greek,english]{babel}
+ \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+
+See `test-utf8.tex`_ for an example.
