The extension +consists of a new set of language dependent macros, +a set of hyphenation patterns for the greek language, +and a set of macro development tools for the greek languge. +.PP +.I grlatex +can be used instead of the latex package to typeset +any source file written for the LaTeX macro package.

For those typesetting ancient greek texts iota subscript +can be generated by placing the character | after the vowel to +recive the subscript. +.PP +The greek environment is created by the command +.PP + \\begin{greektext} +.PP +and ends by +.PP + \\end{greektext}. +.PP +Inside the greek environment the font families available are: +.RS +.TP + \\gr Classic Greek +.TP + \\grbf Boldface Greek +.TP + \\grsl Slanted Greek +.TP + \\grit Greek Italics +.TP + \\grtt Typewritter Greek +.RE +.LP +Note that all the font scaling commands will affect the greek +characters as well. Nevertheless if the font size is changed +inside the environment, the effects are only local. + +.SH "STYLE FILES" + +Special style files exist for writting texts in greek language. +The names of the style files are derived from the latex ones +by preciding them with the suffix `gr' (e.g. grarticle.sty) +Any such style causes latex to enter a permenent greek environment. +The original latin (global) environment is locally available +through the commands \\begin and \\end {latin}. +Note that the roman font families are normally accesed in the +standard way e.g. {\\rm Latin Word}. Beware the difference in +certain symbols; all the accentuation symbols are concidered +as letters (catcode 11). + +.SH "MACRO DEVELOPMENT" + +If you are interested in creating macros while in greek mode +try to remember that certain symbols need to be replaced by more +general control sequences: +.RS +.TP + $ ---> \\ m@thm@de +.TP + > ---> \\ gt (greater than) +.TP + < ---> \\ lt (less than) +.RE +.LP +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR tex(1), +.BR latex(1), +.BR greektex(1). + +.SH FILES +For more information on macro development under the package +see the extensive discussion in the comments of the macro +files: lgreek.tex, grfonts.tex, greek.sty, gr*.sty + +.SH "AUTHOR" + The +.B GREEKTeX +package was developed partly from +ideas of Sylvio Levy and Haralambous by K J Dryllerakis +(kd@doc.ic.ac.uk) + |
