+<p class="topic-title first">Abstract</p>
+<p>Babel-greek is a contributed package providing support for the
+Greek language and script via the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel">Babel</a> system.</p>
+</div>
+<p>In 1997, Apostolos Syropoulos added support for the Greek language to the
+“babel” package. The file <tt class="literal">greek.ldf</tt> provides options for monotonic
+(single-diacritic) and polytonic (multiple-diacritic) modes of writing.</p>
+<p>Currently, it only works with LaTeX and 8-bit TeX engines. Users of the
+XeTeX and LuaTeX engines are advised to use the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/polyglossia">polyglossia</a> package
+instead.</p>

+<p>The “babel-greek” package requires the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel">babel</a> base package, <a class="reference internal" href="#greek-text-fonts">Greek text
+fonts</a> in the LGR encoding, and the encoding definition file <tt class="literal">lgrenc.def</tt>

+</div>
+<div class="section" id="installation">
+<h1>Installation</h1>
+<p>If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation
+manager.</p>
+<p>Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the required files:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><p>Download and unpack <cite>babel-greek.zip</cite>.</p></li>
+<li><p>Run <tt class="literal">tex</tt> or <tt class="literal">latex</tt> on the batch file <tt class="literal">greek.ins</tt>.</p></li>
+<li><p>Move all files ending in <tt class="literal">.def</tt>, <tt class="literal">.fd</tt>, <tt class="literal">.ldf</tt>, or <tt class="literal">.sty</tt>
+into a directory searched by TeX.</p></li>
+<li><p>To produce the documentation run the files <tt class="literal">usage.tex</tt> and all files
+ending in <tt class="literal">.dtx</tt> through LaTeX.</p></li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="usage">
+<h1>Usage</h1>
+<p>Pass the “greek” or “polutonikogreek” options to babel:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">\usepackage[greek]{babel}
+</pre>
+<p>For details see <a class="reference external" href="usage.pdf">usage.pdf</a>, <a class="reference external" href="greek.pdf">greek.pdf</a> and the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel">babel</a> documentation.
+Literal input of Greek characters is possible with the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/greek-inputenc">greek-inputenc</a>
+package.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="greek-text-fonts">
+<h1>Greek text fonts</h1>
+<p>The LGR font encoding is the de-facto standard for typesetting Greek with
+(8-bit) LaTeX. Fonts in this encoding include the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cbgreek-complete">CB fonts</a> (matching CM),
+<a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/grtimes">grtimes</a> (Greek Times), <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/kerkis">Kerkis</a> (matching URW Bookman), and the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/gfs">GFS font
+collection</a>. Setup of these fonts as Greek variant to matching Latin fonts
+is facilitated by the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ctan.org/pkg/substitutefont">substitutefont</a> package.</p>
+<p>The LGR font encoding generates Greek characters via an ASCII
+transliteration. This enables simple input with a Latin keyboard.
+Characters with diacritics are selected by ligature definitions in the
+font (see <a class="reference external" href="usage.pdf">usage.pdf</a>).</p>
+<p>A major drawback of this transliteration is, that you cannot access Latin
+letters if LGR is the active font encoding (e.g. in documents or parts of
+documents given the <cite>Babel</cite> language <tt class="literal">greek</tt> or <tt class="literal">polutionikogreek</tt>).
+This means that for every Latin-written word or acronym an explicite
+language-switch is required. This problem can only be solved via a
+font-encoding comprising Latin and Greek like the hypothetic T7 or Unicode
+(with XeTeX or LuaTeX).</p>
