- the current font encoding. Requires greek-fontenc_,
- enhances greek-inputenc_.
-
- Literal source: `<textalpha.sty.html>`_
-
- :alphabeta.sty: `Generic macros for Greek symbols`_ in text and math.
- Requires ``textalpha.sty``.
-
- Literal source: `<alphabeta.sty.html>`_

-Components of the `lgrx` bundle
-===============================
-
-
-The `lgrx` bundle consists of the `textalpha` and `alphabeta` packages and
-the backwards compatibility file ``lgrxenc.def``.
+To update existing documents, replace, e.g., ::
+ \usepackage[LGRx,T1]{fontenc}
-Default text macros for Greek symbols
--------------------------------------
+with ::
-``textalpha.sty`` makes the ``\textalpha``, ``\textbeta`` ... macros as well as
-the ``\ensuregreek`` command aviable in any font encoding. With the
-greek-inputenc_ package, Unicode input of Greek letters works in any font
-encoding, too.
+ \usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc}
-.. _limitations:
+No change is required for documents using the ``textalpha`` or ``alphabeta``
+packages now bundled with greek-fontenc_.
-However, in any font encoding except LGR:
-* there is no kerning between Greek characters,
-* composition of diacritics (like ``\'"``) fails,
-* accent macros do not select precomposed characters
- (pre-composed Unicode literals work fine).
-
-See the literal source textalpha.sty.html_ and the example document
-textalpha-test.pdf_ for details on usage, limitations, and recommended
-workarounds.
-
-
-Generic macros for Greek symbols
---------------------------------
-
-``alphabeta.sty`` allows you to use ``\alpha``, ``\beta``, ... in both, text
-and math mode. For this, the math macros are redefined with the help of
-``\TextOrMath`` from the standard package fixltx2e_.
-
-Unicode input of Greek letters works also in mathematical formulas.
-
-See the literal source alphabeta.sty.html_ and the example document
-alphabeta-test.pdf_ for details.
-
-
-LGR font encoding definition file
----------------------------------
-
-``lgrxenc.def`` was an alternative to the rudimentary LGR encoding
-definition file ``lgrenc.def`` that came with babel_'s Greek
-support. It is now superseded by ``lgrenc.def`` from greek-fontenc_ but kept
-here for backwards compatibility.
-
-
-UTF-8 support for Greek
------------------------
-
-Moved to the greek-inputenc_ package.
