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

-(since 1849) is the B.G.~Teubner Verlags\-gesell\-schaft, that publishes the

-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 name given to this package is in homage to that printing company and to its high quality tradition in printing Greek texts.
This package is generally loaded by default with any complete distribution of the \TeX\ system; in basic distributions it might not be there, but in general it is sufficient to use the distribution facilities for loading it; with MiKTeX, for example one uses the MiKTeX settings and the Package tab. With \TeX\-live it is sufficient to operate with the program \textsf{tlmgr}; and so on.
-The problem, if there is one, is to have the full collection of the CB fonts; in partial distributions the scalable PostScript CB fonts are in one size, 10\,pt, and it is necessary to use the \emph{10pt} option in order to have the various enlarged or reduced sizes. For professional work, if the user has a partial \TeX\ system installation, it is necessary to load the \texttt{cbgreek-full} font collection and be sure that the map files are duly upgraded. In case, read your distribution instructions to see how to control and, possibly, how to provide for this upgrade. Please, notice that this very file has been typeset with the \emph{10pt} option in force, so that if you want to typeset it again from source, you need the minimum amount of vector fonts needed by \textsf{pdflatex} to do its job.

-In any case this \texttt{teubner} extension package makes the CB font collection (full or reduced) directly compatible by construction with both the CM fonts (OT1 and T1 encoded; the latter ones are often referred to as the EC fonts) and with the LM fonts; it also contains adequate hooks in order to make them compatible and usable with other font collections; this very file has been successfully typeset using the CM and LM fonts, and also resorting to the Times and Palatino eXtended collections requested with the packages \texttt{txfonts}\footnote{Antonis Tsolomitis wrote package \textsf{txfontsb} for using a different Greek font collection together with the TX fonts so that the Latin and Greek glyph styles directly match each other; see the \textsf{txfontsb} package documentation for more information.} and \texttt{pxfonts} respectively.

If you load it before and/or if you load it after, but you invoked the \texttt{babel} package without specifying the \meta{greek} language and the \texttt{polutoniko} Greek language attribute, \texttt{teubner} refuses to be completely loaded and emits a message very clear on this subject, so that you know what you should do in order to use the facilities offered by its extensions.

\noindent\textbf{Warning}: Some people like the Lipsian font shape and want to load it also for writing mathematics with it. No problem, but they shouldn't do this with \pack{teubner}, which is useful only to typeset Greek text. For using other alphabets in mathematics there are more suitable ways that rely on the commands described in the \texttt{fntguide.pdf} distributed with every \TeX\ system in \texttt{\$TEXMFDIST\slash doc\slash latex\slash base/}.

\subsection*{Technical information}
Typesetting documents with different scripts sets forth some problems. The \emph{greek} option to the \babel\ package, besides setting up the typographical rules for Greek, as it does for any other language, provides the script change; it defines also the \verb|\textlatin| macro in order to typeset something with the Latin script while the default script is Greek, as well as the \verb|\textgreek| macro to typeset something with the Greek script when typesetting with a Latin one. Of course the usual \verb|\selectlanguage| and \verb|\foreinglanguage| commands, as well as the \texttt{otherlanguage} environment, provide for a global change of the typesetting characteristics or an environment where the settings are reset to Greek.
-\noindent\textbf{Beware}! Differently from before, \verb|\textlatin| changes only the encoding and sets some other small details, but it does not reset the local font family to "roman", as it used to do before \verb|teubner| version~4.8. This was remarked by Jens Börstinghaus, whom I thank very much for this bug notification. In facts \verb|\textlatin| is often used behind the scenes by \LaTeX\ internal commands and the user has little or no control over the font characteristics; before the font family was reset to the default, instead of continuing with the current family, series and shape. Now it does, and the users should explicitly declare some other family, series or shape if they do not want the current ones.

-With standard \babel\ the CB fonts used to work only in conjunction with the CM fonts with either the OT1 (real CM fonts) or T1 (EC fonts) encoding. Since the 2008 distribution of standard \babel, the CB fonts work fine also with the Latin Modern fonts. This \pack{teubner} extension tries to work seamlessly also with other font families, but it is not that simple. Some technical explanations are necessary.

Since the 2008 distribution of standard \babel, the CB fonts work fine also with the Latin Modern fonts. This \pack{teubner} module tries to work seamlessly also with other font families, but it is not that simple. Some technical explanations are necessary.
When \LaTeX\ needs to use a specific font in a certain encoding and belonging to a particular family, series and shape, available in such and such sizes, it gets this information by reading a \emph{font description file}; this file's name is composed with the encoding and the family names glued together and has the extension \texttt{.fd}; for OT1 encoded Computer Modern CM regular (serifed) fonts this file would be \texttt{ot1cmr.fd}. Any other package that is requested for using different fonts defines possibly a different encoding and certainly different family names. For using the Times eXtended TX fonts with T1 encoding, the \texttt{txfonts.sty} package defines the family name \texttt{txr} (for serifed fonts) so that \LaTeX\ reads the font description file \texttt{t1txr.fd} that contains the relevant information for all the series, shapes, and sizes available.
-The CB fonts are encoded according to the LGR encoding but have the same family names as the CM ones; since 2008, also the family names of the Latin Modern LM collection are recognised; therefore the relevant font description files for the regular\footnote{The regular lower case Greek alphabet does not have serifs; serifs are present in the font shape called `serifed' that corresponds to the\texttt{\string\textrs} font command.} family are \texttt{lgrcmr.fd} and \texttt{lgrlmr.fd} respectively. The two collections of description files are not equivalent with one another, and they are not equivalent to the OT1 or T1 encoded CM or LM fonts, in the sense that the series and shapes available for these sets of fonts are not identical, even if most of them are.

In this way with CM and LM fonts the script switching for the same (existing) series and shapes amounts to switching the encoding name. At the same time there might exist some font switching commands that refer to a series or shape that does not exist in the other script families; one important example in our case is the Lipsian shape that is available only with the CB fonts. There is no problem in declaring the Lipsian shape switching commands that behave in a proper way together with the CM and LM fonts, but even if I did my best for working with other font families, I am not 100\% confident that my macros restore correctly the other font characteristics when declaring a different series or shape.

The new (2013) Greek support for \babel\ contains now the LICR encoded accent macros that allow to use any encoding input method, including direct input of Greek characters. The internal representation of accent macros resorts to the same symbols shown in table~\ref{t:accenti}; simply they are prefixed by a backslash and/or the accent sequence is prefixed with one backslash; therefore \textDidot{>'a|} may be obtained with \verb+>'a|+, or \verb+\>\'a|+, or \verb+\>'a|+. The last form is to be preferred with some shapes as discussed in the following paragraphs. But the LICR (\LaTeX\ Internal Character Representation) is much more than this; it separates the input encoding from the output font encoding, so that direct literal greek input is possible (of course with the \opt{utf8} encoding) and the output is useful for both LGR encoded 8-bit fonts and the UNICODE encoded OpentType fonts; this way \pack{babel} and the Greek support for \babel, provided by the new \file{greek.ldf}, may be used also with \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX. Moreover now (October 2014) file \file{greek.ldf} can select the ancient Greek hyphenation when typesetting with \pdfLaTeX\footnote{This is why with this release of the \pack{teubner} package, the default language attribute is set to \texttt{ancient}.}; with \pack{polyglossia} this possibility was available from the very beginning of the Greek support by this package.
+The 2020 version of the \file{greek.ldf} file introduces some new coding incompatible with the extension provided by this module (up to version~48) to get Greek Milesian and Attic numerals. From \pack{teubner} version~5.0, the LICR codes used by the new \file{greek.ldf} file are extended in oder to get Greek numerals that use the ancient glyphs, and therefore some macros are redefined. On the occasion of this update, the necessary macros for the Greek numerals have been redefined by means of the \LaTeX\,3 language through the interface macros previously defined by the \pack{xparse} package and now (2020) integral part of the \LaTeX\ kernel; see below for further details.
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 or by using the LICR macros; the advantage of the redefined accent macros is twofold: (a) it is connected to the possibility of inserting macrons and breves and/or to set the various combinations over or under \emph{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; this result is achieved also by using the extended accent macros shown in the third line of table~\ref{t:accenti}; as shown elsewhere there is a noticeable difference between {\Lipsiakostext a>ut'os} and \textLipsias{a\s{u}t\'os} or \textLipsias{a\>ut\'os} or \textLipsias{a\>ut'os}. In this example the first word is typed in as \verb+a>ut'os+, while the other words may be typed in as \verb+a\s{u}t\'os+, or \verb*+a\us t\oa s+, or \verb+a\>ut'os+, 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'.

For example compare \textLipsias{a>ut'os} with \textLipsias{a\>ut\'os}. The small spacing difference, if any, between tau and the accented omicron is not 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\footnote{The CB fonts may be used also with monotoniko spelling; in this case \textLipsias{A"ULOS} comes out well even with ligatures \texttt{A"ULOS}, because a special kludge has been devised; with the extended accent macros it would not be too boring to typeset \texttt{A\string\"ULOS} and do away with that kludge; without it and without such extended macros that word would be set as \textLipsias{Av"ULOS} with a much larger space between the capital alpha and the marked capital upsilon.}.

Notice also that the initial capital vowel has a spirit and possibly an accent, or is not preceded by anything, since the possible spirit with or without accent falls on the second element of a descending diphthong: \textDidot{a\>ut'os}, \textDidot{A\>ut'os}, and \textDidot{AUTOS}; \textDidot{e\>'inai}, \textDidot{E\>'inai}, \textDidot{EINAI}.

The remarks concern the use of capital letters and, to a certain extent also the caps and small caps font shape. As mentioned before in Greek typography words with capital initials starting with a vowel require their diacritics in front and at the left of the initial capital vowel (for example:\textLipsias{>Aristot'elhs}) provided the vowel is not the first element of a Greek diphthong; in the latter case the diacritics go on top of the diphthong lower case second element (for example: \textLipsias{A>isq'ulos}). On the opposite, all-caps words, such as in book titles or, with certain \LaTeX\ classes, in the headings, are typeset without any diacritic, except the diaeresis.
-
I have already shown the unusual example of the word \textLipsias{>'aulos} where the first two vowels do not form a diphthong, but a hiatus; and this is why the diacritics fall on top of the alpha, not on the second element of the diphthong, for the very reason that there is no diphthong. In order to stress this unusual situation the word is most often spelled as \textLipsias{>'a\"ulos}, where the dieresis is sort of redundant, because the diacritics over the alpha already denote the hiatus. Similarly \textLipsias{>a\"upn'ia} is spelled with the redundant dieresis, although the soft spirit on the alpha already marks the hiatus. When these words require a capital initial, they become \textLipsias{>'A\"ulos} and \textLipsias{>A\"upn'ia}.
-Notice that an initial single vowel may receive only a spirit marker with or without an accompanying accent, never a dieresis or a single accent\footnote{Of course we are talking of the polytonic spelling, since this package \texttt{teubner} sets this spelling as the default one; nobody forbids to spell in monotonic even when the polytonic spelling is assumed, but in some rare instances there might be some inconsistencies.}. I tried hard to set up all the ligature and extended accent macros so as to do the right things when capitalising or uppercasing, and if you follow the suggestions given in this section you should not meet any particular inconvenience.

With small caps there is a similar situation, and the extended accent macros produce the expected result. But accents are apparently used in French also when proper names are typeset in caps and small caps, contrary to Greek, so that in French the spelling of case 16 is correct; for the initial spirit, therefore it is necessary to resort to the invisible character obtained with the Latin letter `v', that is uppercased to itself and is suitable for supporting any diacritic mark at the proper height. Julien Browaeys pointed out this specific typesetting French tradition; I thank him very much for his feedback on this point.

Conclusion: when writing the input code for a sectioning command, the argument of which has to be transformed to upper case, use \verb|\"| (in the proper sequence with other accents) for the internal diereses, as in cases 3), 4), 8), and 9) above. With the extended accent macros there are really few problems; the remaining ones take place in complete uppercasing remain with French traditions in caps and small caps that can be easily handled through the use of the \texttt{v} special invisible glyph. If you want to avoid also this possibility, then either avoid classes that typeset their headings in all-caps, or use any external package that defines sectioning commands with two optional arguments, one for the heading contents and the other for the table of contents; or use equivalent tricks: for example the \texttt{memoir} class has a specific command \verb|\nouppercaseheads| that eliminates any heading uppercasing.

+Version 5.0 of the teubner package is compliant with the Greek language
+support to babel version 3.9g, that makes use of the encoding independent
+LICR (LaTeX Internal Character Representation) of the Greek characters &
+diacritics; it contains also the macros that allow using the LGR encoded
+CBfonts together with other PostScript scalable fonts; the compatibility
+with the Times and the Palatino eXtended fonts, through the packages
+txfonts and pxfonts, are already built in; the compatibility with the
+Latin Modern fonts was already available with version 2.x of this package.
+With the upgrade of the Greek support to babel through file greek.ldf
+version 1.10, teubner package versions previous to 5.0 became unable to
+transform Arabic numerals into the classical Milesian and Attic number
+representations. From version 5.0 the teubner package has been patched
+in order to re-establish the above number transformations; some other
+improvements have been added that are transparent to the end user, since
+deal with the package internal workings. But these improvements require
+a recent installation of the TeX system, because they use interfaces to
+the new LaTeX 3 language; the minimum date of the LaTeX kernel should
