+\section{Introduction}
+\begin{sloppypar}
+This package \texttt{teubner.sty} is an extension of the \textsf{greek} option
+of the \textsf{\slshape babel} package intended to typeset classical Greek with
+a philological approach. This version 2.1 cannot yet typeset the critical
+apparatus as the philologists are used to, but may be this work will continue
+and include also that facility.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+This project is being carried on with the help of Mr. Paolo Ciacchi, who got
+a``master'' degree at the University of Trieste, when he was writing his
+``master thesis'' where he has to deal with ancient Greek philology.
+
+This package is supposed to work with my CB fonts available on the
+Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network (\textsc{ctan}); one of the actions of this
+package consists in replacing the default ``italic'' Greek shape with the one
+called ``Lispiakos'' in Greece; this name derives from the high quality of the
+fonts used in the printers' shops in the city of Lipsia in the past 100 years
+or so; one of the printer shops that continues printing books for philologists
+(since 1849) is the B.G.~Teubner Verlags\-gesell\-schaft, that publishes the
+collection called ``Bibliotheca Scriptorum Graecorum et Latinorum
+Teubneriana''. The name given to this extension package is in homage to that
+printing company and to its high quality tradition in printing Greek texts.
+
+The reader is supposed to know how to install a package with all its components
+in his/her \TeX\ installation; here we do not spend a word on this topic, since
+the various implementations of the \TeX\ systems are so idiosyncratic that the
+explanations good for one implementation are not good for another; the various
+operating systems also do not help in such matters. Since I have access only
+to a Windows~2k computer with \textsc{MiKTeX} and a Debian Linux one with the
+\TeX-Live implementation of \texttt{teTeX}, I realize that the explanations
+would be so different that they would result too confusing. Let's not speak of
+other operating systems and \TeX\ distributions\dots\ Nevertheless do not
+forget to read carefully the accompanying file \texttt{teubner.txt}.
+
+Another warning: while I am upgrading this documentation, the \TeX-Live Team is
+studying how to reduce the amount of material to distribute on the \TeX-Live
+disk, since the contributions are growing at such a rapid rate that it becomes
+urgent to chose what to include and what to leave outside, although always
+downloadable form the \acro{ctan} archives. One of the candidates to reduction
+is the collection of my CB Greek fonts; it is true that the whole collection of
+files, that includes the \MF\ source and driver files, the metric \texttt{tfm}
+files, and the PostScript \texttt{pfb} files, amounts to nearly 2000 files and
+the volume exceeds 100\,MB. One of the proposals is to distribute a reduced
+zipped set called \texttt{cbsmall.zip} on the \TeX-Live disk while retaining
+three other collections \texttt{cbtiny.zip}, \texttt{cbmedium.zip} and
+\texttt{cbhuge.zip} so that the user can proportionate the amount of downloaded
+fonts to his/her real needs. For using \texttt{teubner.sty} you need the full
+set of Lipsian fonts, so you should download it from \acro{ctan} should it be
+missing from your customized-size set of Greek fonts. Since the operation of
+the \TeX-Live Team is under way, I cannot be more precise for the moment;
+should that Team decide as outlined, maybe I might modify this package so as to
+conform to the specific font collection of your installation.
+
+This short documentation will start with briefly recalling some peculiarities
+of the CB fonts and their mapping to the Latin keyboard; afterwards it will
+list the new commands and their syntax.
+
+\section{The Greek CB fonts}
+The CB fonts come in all shapes, sizes and series as the extended European
+fonts that conform with the T1 encoding introduced after the Cork Conference of
+the \TeX\ Users Group Society in 1991\footnote{If the \TeX-Live Team takes the
+decisions outlined in the previous section the smaller sets will have the fonts
+scaled up or down from a subset of the whole collection.}. The CB fonts conform
+to the encoding that is still being called LGR, since up to now there is no
+established encoding name for the Greek alphabet among the \TeX\ users, not
+yet, at least.
+
+The regular shape has capital letters with serifs that are in the
+same style as the roman capital ones, while the lower case letters
+derive from the design by Didot and are very common in all texts.
+This shape comes also in boldface, together with the two
+corresponding oblique (or slanted) versions. The CB fonts contain
+also the upright and slanted, medium and boldface small caps
+alphabets.
+
+The ``italic'' shape was designed in order to imitate the Olga font designed so
+as to have a contrasting style compared with the slanted Didot shape, in order
+to play the same role as the italic letters play with the latin roman
+alphabets. The Olga alphabets come in medium and boldface series, and in
+oblique and upright shapes.
+
+The CB fonts are completed with the sans serif fonts, the
+monospaced typewriter fonts and the fonts for slides, besides an
+outline family that shows the regular shapes and series just with
+their contours.
+
+The ``cbleipzig'' fonts imitate the beautiful shapes used in
+Lipsia; they come in medium bold and extra-bold series, without
+an upright version, and they are meant to replace the
+corresponding Olga shapes (the bold series is good for mixing
+with PostScript fonts, whose medium series is slightly blacker
+than the corresponding CM and EC fonts usually used with \LaTeX).
+
+\section{Font installation}
+In order to use the Greek CB fonts and the extensions provided with this
+package, you need to install them. You can freely download those fonts from
+\textsc{ctan}\footnote{At the time of writing the \textsc{ctan} archives
+contain a huge compressed file that includes all the \texttt{tfm} metric files,
+all the \MF\ files and all the postscript \texttt{pfb} files, inclusive of the
+\texttt{cbgreek.map} file needed to instruct \textsf{dvips} and
+\textsf{pdflatex} for using the scalable postscript fonts.}, where you can find
+also the collection of driver files for generating them with \MF, but since you
+are unlikely going to use all families, series, shapes and sizes, and since the
+cbleipzig and metrics fonts are lacking the driver files, I suggest you to
+follow the instructions given in the file \texttt{cbgreek.txt}; in facts the CB
+fonts need only an interface between \MF\ and the \texttt{.tfm} and
+\texttt{.pk} files, in order to overcome the \MF\ limitation that the output
+files must have the same name of the input file (not considering the filename
+extension); therefore all the driver files contain the same instruction:
+\begin{quote}
+\ttfamily input cbgreek;
+\end{quote}
+and differ only in the name; the latter is made up of four
+letters and four digits; the four letters identify the Greek
+fonts by family, series and shape, while the four digits identify
+the size in points, multiplied by 100 and left padded with a zero
+in order to complete the four digits.
+
+The cbleipzig fonts have their shape identified with the letter \texttt{l},
+therefore for a 9\,pt font you need a file named \texttt{grml0900.mf}
+containing the above mentioned single instruction; for the metric symbol fonts
+at 12\,pt you need a file named \texttt{gmtr1200.mf} containing the above
+mentioned single instruction. So, should the cbleipzig and the metric symbol
+\MF\ driver files be missing, you don't have too much work to do to create
+them.

+\end{tabular}
+\caption{Keyboard correspondence between Latin and Greek
+letters}\label{t:corrispondenza}
+\end{table}
+
+In order to input Greek text with a Latin keyboard some simple and
+mostly obvious key substitutions are performed according to the
+correspondence shown in table~\ref{t:corrispondenza}.
+
+Notice that there is the possibility of inputting \texttt{c} in
+order to get the final sigma \textDidot{c}, but the CB fonts are
+conceived with the non-Greek typist in mind, so that it is even
+possible to input \texttt{s} at the end of words, because the
+whole software is smart enough to detect the word boundary and to
+use the correct shape of the letter sigma within or at the word
+end. This mechanism is so ``sticky'' that it becomes difficult to
+type an isolated initial or middle sigma; to this purpose the CB
+fonts contain an invisible character, \texttt{v}, that may be
+used for several purposes, one of which is to hide the word
+boundary after a sigma; therefore if you type \texttt{sv}, you get
+\textDidot{sv} without any effort.
+
+The invisible character \texttt{v} may be used also as a support
+for (apparently) isolated accents, especially when macros have to
+be used; if you type \verb"\={v}" you get
+\,\textDidot{\=v}\enspace, while if you omit the invisible
+\texttt{v} you get \,\textDidot{\={}}\enspace.
+
+Accent, spirits and dieresis are input \emph{before} each letter
+(prefix notation) without using any particular control sequence;
+the correspondence between the Latin symbols and the Greek
+diacritical marks is shown in table~\ref{t:accenti}; all ``upper''
+diacritical marks must be prefixed (in any order), while the iota
+subscript must be postfixed. Therefore if you input \verb">'a|", you
+get \textDidot{>'a|}.
+

+\end{tabular}
+\caption{Correspondence between the Latin keyboard symbols and
+Greek diacritical marks}\label{t:accenti}
+\end{table}
+
+Macrons and breves are just single glyphs and do not appear in combination with
+any letter, due to the limitation of 256 glyphs per font; but they may be input
+by means of the standard \LaTeX\ commands \verb|\=| and \verb|\u| respectively
+in order to use them as accents. Together with the macros for inserting such
+symbols, a complete set is available for inserting any combination of
+diacritical marks over or under any letter, not only vowels: see
+table~\ref{t:accentmacros}. Of course the results may not be comparable with
+the ones one can obtain with the regular ligature mechanism; the advantage of
+the accent macros is twofold: (a) it is connected only to the possibility of
+inserting macrons and breves and/or to set the various combinations over or
+under any letter, even if it is a consonant; (b) for all accent vowel
+combinations that have a specific glyph in the font, the actual accented symbol
+is used so that kernings and ligatures are maintained; as shown elsewhere there
+is a noticeable difference between \textLipsias{a>ut'os} and
+\textLipsias{a\s{u}t\'os}. In this example the first word is typed in as
+\verb+a>ut'os+, while the second may be typed as \verb+a\s{u}t\'os+, or
+\verb*+a\us t\oa s+, or even in mixed form \verb*+a\us t'os+ thanks to the fact
+that there is no kerning between `tau' and `omicron with or without acute'

+\ap{1}\quad The circumflex accent may be obtained with \comando\~\ only if
+attribute \textsf{polutoniko} was specified for the
+Greek language with \textsf{\slshape babel} v.3.7.\\
+\ap{2}\quad Most commands may be used also with latin letters.
+\end{table}
+
+\section{Ligatures}
+It should be clear from the previous section that the ligature mechanism is the
+one that offers the best results with most accented vowels; in any case it
+speeds up the keying in of the text to be typeset; nevertheless there are
+situations where you might be unsatisfied.
+
+Fore example compare \l a>ut'on \ with \textLipsias{a\us t\oa n}.
+The small spacing difference between tau and the accented omicron
+is hardly noticeable, but the spacing difference between alpha
+and the marked upsilon is remarkable. Where does that difference
+come from? It comes from the fact that the smooth spirit marker
+inhibits kerning between the previous alpha and the resulting
+ligature from the spirit marker and the upsilon. In other words,
+by inputting \verb"a>ut'on", as it is suggested in the previous
+section, the spirit marker and the acute accent inhibit the
+kerning mechanism with the previous letter. In most instances the
+lack of such kerning is hardly noticeable, but in others it
+strikes your attention.
+
+For this reason a set of macros has been defined such that it is
+possible to input the accented characters directly, without
+resorting to the ligature mechanism. Such macros have a common
+structure; they are formed with the letters that make up the
+complex glyph in a certain order, precisely every macro is made
+up as such:
+\begin{quote}\obeylines
+the first character, obviously, is the backslash character \texttt{\char92};
+the next character is the name of the vowel, one of a, e, h, i, o, u, w;
+the next optional character is the code for dieresis, smooth or rough spirit, with one of the letters d, s, r;
+the next character is the code for the circumflex, acute, or grave accent with one of the letters c, a, or g;
+the last optional character indicates iota subscript with the presence of an i.
+\end{quote}
+
+That means that, for instance, \comando\asai\ stands for \textDidot{\asai}. For
+your convenience such macros are collected in table~\ref{t:compoundvowels}.
+Such set may introduce incompatibilities with other packages or even with the
+primitive \TeX\ commands. Of course one can always resort to the accent--vowel
+combination as exemplified at the end of the previous section; the above
+example \textDidot{\asai} may be obtained also with
+\verb+\As{a}|+.\footnote{Postfixed markings do not pose any problem with
+kernings and ligatures; this is why the postfixed ligature for the iota
+subscript may still be used also when the accent--vowel combinations are used.}

+\end{table}
+
+I draw your attention on the necessity of using the ligature
+\comando{''} for producing the simple apostrophe, which, by the
+way, in Greek typography must always be followed by a space. The
+single tick mark \comando'\ produces an acute accent, not an
+apostrophe, this is why it is necessary to use the double tick
+mark ligature.
+
+The Milesian numerals should not worry anybody, because they are seldom used as
+isolated symbols; the \textsf{greek} or \textsf{polutonikogreek} option or the
+\textsf{polutoniko} attribute of the Greek language with the \textsf{\slshape
+babel} package offer the commands \comando\greeknumeral\ and
+\comando\Greeknumeral, that convert common arabic positive numbers in the
+Milesian counterparts within a Greek section of your document; the
+corresponding commands followed by an asterisk change the digamma glyph with
+the stigma one\footnote{The stigma version is the standard one with the
+\textsf{\slshape babel} language support for Greek; with this package we
+adopted the digamma as the ``regular'' sign with the value of~6, and attributed
+stigma to the ``variant'' representation of Milesian numbers.}:

+\section{New commands}
+This extension package introduces many new commands for
+typesetting Greek in a philological way. Most of such commands are
+collected in table~\ref{t:extcomandi}.
+
+A short remark on the command \comando\ap: this useful command inserts
+\emph{anything} as a superscript of anything else; it works both in text mode
+and in math mode\footnote{Numerical superscripts or apices do not require math
+mode; numerical footnote labels are automatically inserted by \LaTeX's
+\comando\footnote\ command; non numerical footnote labels are easily inserted
+with \LaTeX's \comando\footnotemark\ and \comando\footnotetext\ commands with
+their optional arguments.}. In particular while typesetting a philological text
+in different languages and with different alphabets, \comando\ap\ typesets the
+superscript with the current language and alphabet; if any change is required
+the \comando\ap's argument can contain any language or alphabet specific
+declaration. You can typeset things such as
+\textLipsias{Baq\'ulides\,\ap{\textlatin{a}}} by switching language and
+alphabet as required; the specific declarations and the commands contained in
+table~\ref{t:extcomandi} come handy also in these cases.

+\section{Metrics}
+Philological writings often require the description of metrics;
+for this purpose a new font has been developed that contains most
+of the frequent metric signs; the corresponding macros have been
+defined so as to set the metric glyphs as if they were text; but,
+most important, a new definition command has been introduced so
+as to enable to declare new control sequences to represent
+complete metric feet or even complete verse metrics.
+
+The metric glyph names are collected in table~\ref{t:metrics},
+while the declaration command is described hereafter.
+
+The syntax for that definition command is similar to that of
+{\comando\newcommand};
+\[
+\hbox{\comando\newmetrics\ARG{name}\ARG{definition}}
+\]
+where \Arg{name} is a control sequence name made up of letters
+(as usual with \LaTeX) with the exception that it may start with
+one of the digits 2, or 3, or 4. Of course the \Arg{definition}
+must reflect the replication by 2, or 3, or 4; moreover if the
+\Arg{name} starts with a digit, when it is used by the typesetter,
+\emph{it must be followed by a space}. Some examples follow:
+\begin{quote}\let\c\comando\obeylines%
+\c\newmetrics\brArg{\c\iam}\brArg{\c\barbrevis\c\longa\c\brevis\c\longa}
+\c\newmetrics\brArg{\c{\2iam}}\brArg{\c\iam\c\iam}
+\c\newmetrics\brArg{\c{\4MACRO}}\brArg{\c\longa\c\longa\c\longa\c\longa}
+\end{quote}
+The above definitions produce the following results (notice the space
+before the colon):
+\begin{quote}\let\c\comando\obeylines%
+\c\iam: \iam
+\c{\2iam} : \iam\iam
+\c{\4MACRO} : \4MACRO \
+\end{quote}
+The definitions may contain also some symbols collected in
+table~\ref{t:extcomandi}, such as \dBar, for example, and other
+symbols from the other tables.
+

+\bigskip
+REMARKS\\[3pt]\footnotesize
+\ap{1}\quad A similar command \c\Hiatus\ produces the same
+visible result as \c\hiatus, except for the fact that it does not
+occupy horizontal space; it is useful in the definitions of full
+verse metrics where a hiatus needs to be inserted between two
+consecutive metric symbols; for example: \longa\Hiatus\longa.\\
+\ap{2}\quad This extension package predefines some examples
+of metric feet and complete verses.\\
+\ap{3}\quad Sometimes it might be convenient to use a shortcut
+for inserting the Aeolic bases
+by inputting \texttt{\char123\comando\metricsfont\ I\char125} or
+\texttt{\char123\comando\metricsfont\ II\char125} or
+\texttt{\char123\comando\metricsfont\ III\char125} in order to get
+\aeolicbii\ or \aeolicbiii\ or \aeolicbiv.
+\end{table}
+
+Another important metric command is the following:
+\[
+\hbox{\comando\metricstack\ARG{base}\ARG{superscript}}
+\]
+which is meant for superimposing some superscript (generally a
+number) over some metric symbol, which may be a single symbol or a
+metric foot; since the superscript gets printed in math mode, the
+superscript hiatus \hiatus\ may be obtained with \comando\Hiatus\
+when it falls between two metric symbols, but must be well
+described as a math roman element when it is superscripted over
+something else; similarly any other superscript which is not a
+math symbol must be suitably set as a math roman object. In any
+case this command makes it easy to get something such
+as~\metricstack{\longa\brevis\brevis}{48}.
+
+The environment for setting metric sequences grouped with braces
+is described in the next section, since it is generally used within
+the composition of verses.
+
+\section{Poetry environments}
+In order to set poetry it is always possible to use the
+standard \LaTeX\ \texttt{verse} environment; nevertheless such
+simple environment is not suited for philological purposes, except
+perhaps for very short citations. This extension package contains
+three new environments with various levels of complexity. Due to
+their relative complexity an example will be given for each one
+with both the input code and the corresponding result. All three
+environments require that any language change be declared before
+their opening statement, otherwise the language change lasts only
+to the end of the verse.
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[\texttt{versi}] This environment does not actually set each
+verse on a separate line; it rather resembles an in-line list; it
+resorts to a command \comando\verso\ that inserts a small vertical
+separator with a progressive number over it. Both the environment
+opening and the command \comando\verso\ accept arguments
+according to the following syntax:
+ \begin{quote}\let\c\comando\obeylines
+ \c\begin\brArg{versi}\ARG{label}
+ \Arg{verses}
+ \c\end\brArg{versi}
+ \null\
+ \c\verso\opt{number}
+ \end{quote}
+where \Arg{label} is a short text (let's say not more than 15
+characters) indicating for example the poem title and the stanza
+number; the whole set of verses will be typeset with a left margin
+wide enough to contain \Arg{label}; the optional argument
+\Arg{number} indicates the starting value for the verse
+enumeration; the default value is~1, but if it is specified, it is
+required only with the first occurrence of \comando\verso\ or when
+the enumeration is restarted. In this environment the standard
+\LaTeX\ command \comando{\\} behaves normally as in regular text.
+\begin{verbatim}
+\begin{versi}{Meropis fr. 3}
+\item[\textlatin{Meropis fr. 4}]
+>'enj'' <o m`en e\ladd{>isplh} \verso[68] j`un

+rw
+\end{versi}
+\NoLipsiakostext
+
+\item[\texttt{Versi}] This environment is very similar to the
+standard \LaTeX\ environment \texttt{verse}; the difference is
+that \texttt{Versi} automatically enumerates the verses
+(displaying only verse numbers that are multiples of 5) with a
+number in the left margin. The syntax is as follows:
+ \begin{quote}\let\c\comando\obeylines
+ \c\begin\brArg{Versi}\opt{number}
+ \Arg{verses}
+ \c\end\brArg{Versi}
+ \end{quote}
+where \Arg{number} is the starting value of the verse enumeration;
+of course each verse is separated from the next one with the usual
+command \comando{\\}, which has been redefined so that it just
+divides the verses and provides to the possible display of the
+verse number; it accepts the optional information that the
+standard \LaTeX\ command usually accepts, both the asterisk and
+the vertical space amount.
+
+
+\NoLipsiakostext

+j{\rbrk}'arsos; <Al'iou te gambr~wi q'olwsen >~htor
+\end{Versi}
+\NoLipsiakostext
+
+\item[\texttt{VERSI}] This third poetry environment behaves
+similarly to \texttt{Versi} but it displays a double verse
+enumeration in the left margin. The principal verse enumeration
+is displayed when the value is a multiple of 5; the second
+enumeration, just to the left of the verses, may be turned on and
+off; when the secondary enumeration is on, the verses are flush
+left, while when it is off the verses are suitably indented. The
+turning on and off of the secondary enumeration is achieved by
+means of the commands \comando\SubVerso\ and \comando\NoSubVerso;
+the syntax is as follows:
+ \begin{quote}\let\c\comando\obeylines
+ \c\begin\brArg{VERSI}\opt{outer number}
+ \Arg{verses}
+ \c\end\brArg{VERSI}
+ \null{}
+ \c\SubVerso\opt{inner number}
+ \c\NoSubVerso{}
+ \end{quote}
+where \Arg{outer number} is the starting value of the primary
+verse enumeration, while \Arg{inner number} is the starting value
+of the secondary enumeration. The commands \comando\SubVerso\ and
+\comando\NoSubVerso\ must be input at the very beginning of the
+verse they should be applicable to. The command \comando{\\} behaves
+as in \LaTeX, and accepts the usual optional arguments.
+
+With the environments \texttt{Versi} and \texttt{VERSI} when typesetting in two
+column format, you have the possibility of specifying \comando\BreakVersitrue\
+(and of course \comando\BreakVersifalse) for allowing (or disallowing) line
+breaks of verses; broken verses are continued in the next line with a
+generous indentation so as to recognize them as belonging to the same verse;
+the verse counter is not incremented when breaking verses across lines.

+\item[\texttt{bracedmetrics}] This is an environment different
+from the preceding ones, although it always deals with verses.
+Its purpose is to set the verse metric lines grouped with a right
+brace, so as to show the variants of a certain metric scheme.
+
+In order to align the metric variants and in order to place the
+right brace in the proper place it is necessary to fix specific
+lengths in terms of a unit that is compatible with the metric
+symbols; therefore the syntax of such spacing command and of the
+environment itself is the following
+ \begin{quote}\let\c\comando\obeylines
+ \c\begin\brArg{bracedmetrics}\ARG{length}
+ \Arg{metric lines}
+ \c\end\brArg{bracedmetrics}
+ \null
+ \c\verseskip\ARG{number}
+ \end{quote}
+where \Arg{number} specifies the number of metric symbols the
+\comando\verseskip\ should be equivalent to. Approximately the
+\comando\verseskip\ will be as long as a sequence of \Arg{number}
+long syllables; the \Arg{length} specified as the width of the
+environment should equal the longest metric line contained in the
+block, and should be specified by means of the
+\comando\verseskip\ command with its argument; but since the
+metric symbols are not all of the same length, it is wise to
+count the symbols of the longest metric line and to add a couple
+of units; after producing the first draft it is possible to review
+the number specified as the argument of \comando\verseskip. Of
+course the same \comando\verseskip\ command may be used to align
+the various fragments of metric lines within the environment.
+Examine the following example of input code:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\begin{verse}
+ \brevis\svert\longa\brevis\brevis\longa
+ \brevis\brevis\longa\svert\longa\\
+ \begin{bracedmetrics}{\verseskip{13}}
+ \Hfill \brevis\svert\longa\brevis\longa
+ \svert\longa\\
+ \longa\brevis\brevis\longa\brevis\brevis
+ \zeugma{\longa\svert\longa}\\
+ \Hfill\longa\brevis\longa\svert\longa
+ \verseskip{2}\\
+ \Hfill\longa\brevis\longa\dBar
+ \end{bracedmetrics}\\
+ \begin{bracedmetrics}{\longa\brevis\brevis\longa
+ \brevis\brevis\longa\svert\longa}
+ \longa\brevis\brevis\longa\brevis\brevis
+ \longa\svert\longa\\
+ \longa\brevis\brevis\longa\brevis\brevis\longa
+ \end{bracedmetrics}\\
+\verseskip{7}\brevis\brevis\longa\svert\ubarbrevis\tBar
+\end{verse}%
+\end{verbatim}
+which produces:
+\begin{verse}
+ \brevis\svert\longa\brevis\brevis\longa
+ \brevis\brevis\longa\svert\longa\\
+ \begin{bracedmetrics}{\verseskip{13}}

+ EXTENSION FOR PHILOLOGICAL TYPESETTING
+
+
+Copyright 2001-2004 Claudio Beccari
+
+The programs contained in this bundle can be redistributed and/or
+modified under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License
+Distributed from CTAN archives in directory macros/latex/base/lppl.txt;
+either version 1.3 of the License, or any later version.
+
+This bundle contains the following files
+
+teubner.txt this file
+teubner.dtx documented TeX file
+teubner.ins installation file
+teubner-doc.pdf documentation file
+
+File teubner-doc.pdf is the documentation file that shows what can
+be done with this extension package and displays several examples.
+The first edition of this file could not resort to scalable type 1 Greek
+fonts (2001); by the end of 2002 such fonts were available on CTAN,
+therefore this new edition not only reports the enhancements introduced
+in version 2.0 but also it displays and prints perfectly.
+
+In order to use this extension package with LaTeX you have to
+install it. Run teubner.ins through LaTeX; the generated file is
+teubner.sty and must be moved where TeX the program can find it.
+This depends very much on your particular implementation of the
+TeX system, but if your system copes with the standard TeX
+directory structure and with a multiplicity of different root
+directory structures, you probably have a localtexmf root,
+containing a tex directory which on turn contains a latex
+directory. Under the latter directory create a new directory,
+named, say, teubner, and move there teubner.sty.
+
+I suggest you to create a directory teubner in the doc directory
+of the localtexmf rooted structure and move there both
+teubner-doc.pdf and teubner.dvi that you get by running LaTeX
+directly on teubner.dtx.
+
+For what concerns the fonts, I suggest you download the type 1 pdf fonts
+from CTAN: there you can get also the tfm files and the sources for all
+the Greek and metric symbol files; in case you prefer to use the raster
+fonts generated by METAFONT you can download also the source METAFONT
+files.
+
+
+In the texmf rooted directory structure there should be a file
+under fontname, named special.map; edit such file and possibly add the
+line
+
+gmtr public teubner
+
+Possibly preceded by a comment line of the form
+
+@c Metric symbols font
+
+This last task is not really necessary, but it is useful, because
+the generated tfm and pixel files will be automatically deposited
+in the proper directories, with no confusion with other fonts.

+Another important step is to control that you have the latest CB
+Greek fonts; even if you got them installed with the TeX system
+installation program, may be they are not the latest version,
+compatible with this extension package. Control your cbgreek.txt
+file and at the end of the file there is its date; this date
+should be not earlier than 15th of August 2002. If the date is earlier
+than this, connect to CTAN and download the latest version of the CB
+Greek fonts both in METAFONT and in pfb type 1 format. Follow the
+instructions for inserting the proper files in the proper directories,
+and for adding the proper map file to the configuration files of dvips
+and pdfLaTeX. If you already had the metric tfm files, remember to
+delete them in order to have them generated on the fly by LaTeX or
+pdfLaTeX, or download the newer tfm files from CTAN.
+
+
+Another question you might ask yourself: is my TeX system complete and
+up to date? The fact you installed a TeX system and you did not have the
+CB fonts may be an index that you still have the babel package locked at
+a version number earlier than 3.7. I suggest you to upgrade your TeX
+system to the most up to date one you can find on CTAN.
+
+After all these steps are done, you are ready to use your teubner
+extensions; it will not be easy at the beginning, because there
+are hundreds of new commands. Be sure to have already thoroughly
+read the documentation file teubner-doc.pdf and that you have the
+hard copy close to you. Remember though that most commands are
+latin names or abbreviations that should be familiar to any
+philologist specialized in classical/ancient European languages,
+such as classical Greek, classical Latin, et cetera.
+
+This set of extension commands has been tested in several
+documents; nevertheless I prepared them as a hobby, in the hope of
+helping a philologist friend. I hope this package may be useful
+also to you, but I must disclaim any liability for any unwanted
+results you might get, including the worst possible things that my
+happen to anybody working with a computer. I will not write down
+any strong disclaimer sentence in capital letters, because it
+should be absolutely evident that I did something I consider
+useful, but is up to you to decide to use it and to face the
+consequences (... which nevertheless I hope they are what you
+expected).
+
+If you find this package of some utility and you find some errors
+and/or some glitches, please write me by e-mail
+(claudio.beccari@polito.it). If you'd like me to realize some other
+commands, please send me by e-mail your request together with a
+scanned image containing the visual result you'd like to obtain. I
+do not guarantee I'll be able to satisfy your request, but I'll
+give it a try. In any case don't ask things LaTeX can't do; and if
+you use LaTeX, you know what are its pros and cons.
+
+Happy philological LaTeXing!
