+\section{Introduction}
+
+From 1952 the polytonic(multi-accents) writing system in Greece was abolished by the Greek parliament. However the need of using it has not been eliminated. Many publishing houses, the Orthodox Church of Greece, writers, scholars and other individuals continue to write with the polytonic system. The \url{www.unicode.org} included, luckily, almost all the monotonic and polytonic Greek characters: \texttt{Unicode Greek and Coptic code set} (with codes U + 0370 - U+03FF), \texttt{Greek Extended code set} ( from U + 1F00 - U+1FFF) and \texttt{Combining Diacritical Marks code set} ( U + 0300 - U+036F) as well. The Greek difthogos ( δίφθογος) ‘ου’ is one of the few exceptions letters that are not included (see \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ou_(ligature)} ). Generally, writing in the polytonic system (in electronic devises) remains a difficult problem. The problem has been successfully confronted with \TeX{} and its branches. We make a package {\sf greektonoi.sty } and a map file {\sf greetonoi.map} that gives us the opportunity to include pollytonic letters in our texts using \XeTeX engine. We can also use them for the easy (but not automatic) conversion of monotonic texts into polytonic ones.
+
+\section{Design Details}
+
+Writing polytonic texts in \LaTeX{} is usually done using the Greek option of \textsf{babel} package. So with the instruction:
+\begin{center} \verb'\usepackage[polutonikogreek]{babel}' \end{center}
+in the preamble of our file, we can start writing immediately a polytonic text. The insertion of accents and breathings is an easy task without using any special combinations of keys and dead keys from the keyboard. The encodings are: to insert the greek accent(tonos) we simply use the symbol '( U+0027), we put the diaeresis using the symbol " (U+0022). For the acute accent we use the same character as for the greek accent, we insert the vareia(grave) with the symbol `(U+ 0060) and the circumflex (perispomeni) with the symbol \char"007E {}(U+007E).
+The encodings for the breathings are: we use the symbol >(U+003E) for the psili(smooth, lenis), we use the symbol <(U+003C) for the daseia (asper, dense) and for the iota subscriptum (υπογεγραμμένη) we use the symbol |(U+OO7C). In order to write, for example, the word ἁμαρτία we insert simply <amart’ia (see \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com /questions/210843/how-do-i-write-amartia-in-polytonic-greek} ).
+
+
+Another possibility is to use of the \textsf{betababel} package (see \url{http://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/betababel/betatest.pdf }).
+This uses the same concepts with the exception that the encodings are different from the ones before. So we insert the psili with ), the daseia with (, the diaeresis with +, the acute accent with /, the vareia (grave accent) with \tb, the circumflex accent with the symbol = and the iota subscriptum with the symbol |.
+
+The main problem with the above methodologies is that the output is \emph{not} Unicode and it can not be re-used. Also, they don’t have enough flexibility: For example, the */)ANDRA will give the correct result with the \textsf{betababel} package but the */)ANDRA will not. Another problem that we found out is that most of the above combinations are inserted using the {\sf Shift} key which we think is time consuming and makes typing more difficult for one hand typing.
+
+\section{The mapping file {\sf greektonoi.map} }
+
+The \XeTeX{} engine gives us fantastic possibilities for the easy use of Unicode fonts of ttf and otf font format without installing them in our computer. The above mentioned packages, babel and betababel, cannot be used, unfortunately,with \XeTeX{} engine. Because of that, we decided to design from the beginning a proper mapping file to work with the option \verb'\setmainlanguage[variant=polytonic]{greek}' of the \textsf{polygossia} package. In \textsf{greektonoi.map} there are almost 3,000 accents combinations in order to easily insert the polytonic symbols. The new encodings are : `(U+0027) and '(U+0060) for bareia, - (U+002D) and |(U+007C) for the iota subscriptum, the ) (U+0029) and ] (U+005D) for the acute accent, the ((U+0028) and [(U+005B) for the grave accent and the "(U+0022) or +(U+002B) for the diaeresis. We can put the usual tonos accent with the normal way using the Greek keyboard (using, for example, a combination of ; with a vowel in PCs) or with the symbol /(U+002F). The symbols |, (, ), +, /, = and `correspond to the symbols |, ( , ) , +, /, = και \tb{} that we see in the \textsf{betababel} package.
+
+
+The use of the \textsf{Shift} key in most of the above cases could be eliminated with the use of the symbols: -, [, ], ", /, = respectively that doesn’t use the \textsf{Shift} key in order to be insert them (except for the "(U+0022) ). The last symbol " usually does not imported correctly in the text with some editors such as Word, for example(MS Word wrongly imports the character «(U+00AB) ).
+In this case, we could alternately use the symbol +. We could insert these auxiliary symbols in our text in any possible order. The only mnemonic rule we have set is: all of the diacritical characters are placed to the left of the vowel in any order. The iota subscriptum ( | or - ) should definitely come just before or just after the vowel. To take, for example, the word ἁμαρτίᾳ, we write [αμαρτία- or (αμαρτία| or [αμαρτ/ια| or (αμαρτ/ι-α ). The first two combinations [αμαρτία- or (αμαρτία|, are very useful in case we have already the (monotonic) word αμαρτία (or a whole monotonic text that we like to convert to polytonic one using \textsf{greektonoi.map}. We simply add the proper symbols at the left of the vowels that we interested in and we get the pollytonic text in the output.\vspace{1em}\\ \noindent
+{\bf Example:} In order to have the pollytonic text
+
+\begin{quote}
+Τῃ πάντα διδούσῃ καὶ ἀπολαμβανούσῃ φύσει ὁ πεπαιδευμένος καὶ αἰδήμων λέγει· «δὸς, ὃ θέλεις, ἀπόλαβε, ὃ θέλεις». Λέγει δὲ τοῦτο οὐ καταθρασυνόμενος, ἀλλὰ πειθαρχῶν μόνον καὶ εὐνοῶν αὐτῇ.\end{quote}
+
+from the corresponding monotonic we could type:
+
+\begin{quote}
+Τη- πάντα διδούση| κα`ι ]απολαμβανούση| φύσει [ο πεπαιδευμένος κα`ί α]ιδήμων λέγει· «δ`ος, `(ο θέλεις, ]απόλαβε, [`ο θέλεις». Λέγει δ`ε το=υτο ο)υ καταθρασυνόμενος, ]αλλ`ά πειθαρχ=ών μόνον κα`ι ε]υνο=ων α]υτ=|η.
+\end{quote}
+
+We noticed a problem with the use of the symbols ] and [ after the use of the double backslash \tb\tb{}. For example, the \tb\tb [`υ =]υ arise a problem but the \tb\tb (`υ =]υ or \tb\tb\{\} [`υ =]υ does not. The use of the double \{ and \} is a simple solution in order to separate the \tb\tb{} from the subsequent words. We will give below a complete example of greektonoi enconding using \XeLaTeX{} engine.

+
+In the above example we used two new font families, the {\sf GFS Neohellenic} and {\sf GFS Baskerville} from the Greek Font Society (see \url{http://www.greekfontsociety.gr/pages/en_typefaces.html}). For the first typeface we used {\sf greektonoi} mapping only locally ie. only for the part of our text that is included inside the \begin{center} \verb'{\greekfont \addfontfeature{Mapping=greektonoi} ...},'\end{center}
+ We used the {\sf greektonoi.map} mapping and the second typeface named \verb'\baske' for a whole text area (that uses the \verb'\baske' typeface). In order to take the pdf output from the above code we have to install the {\sf greektonoi} mapping or alternatively, put the file {\sf greektonoi.tec} in the same folder that we have saved the above code(with the {\sf .tex} extention).
+
+\section{The greektonoi package}
+
+The {\sf greektonoi.map} mapping is useful only in large polytonic texts written without math symbols or other \TeX{} commands in the middle. The use of [ and ] for inserting breathings is completly improper in texts that include \TeX{} commands because these characters are used to delimit the set of variables from the body of the command. Therefore, we made {\sf greektonoi.sty} package which is more suitable for such cases. There are almost nine hundreds commands stored in the package for easy importing of greek numerals, polytonic archaic Greek, accents, breathings and other symbols. The commands have been using letters from the Greek alphabet (β, ψ, δ, π and so on) although in a future revised version we intent to extend the package with commands that use only ascii characters for those users that do not have the greek keyboard. In {\sf greektonoi.sty} underlie the same concepts as in {\sf greektonoi.map}. The vareia(\textbf{β}αρεία) is inserted using the letter β, for psili(\textbf{ψ}ιλή) we use ψ, daseia(\textbf{δ}ασεία) is inserted with δ and the circumflex(\textbf{π}ερισπωμένη) is inserted typing π. For iota subscriptum (υπογεγραμ\textbf{μ}ένη) we use the letter μ, for tonos the letter τ and for diaeresis(δια\textbf{λ}υτικά) the λ character. So to write the text above using exclusively the {\sf greektonoi.sty} package
+we could type the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
+\usepackage{fontspec}
+\setmainfont{Arial}
+\usepackage{polyglossia}
+\setmainlanguage[variant=polytonic]{greek}
+\newfontfamily\baske{GFS Baskerville}
+\usepackage{greektonoi}
+\begin{document}
+{\baske Τ\μη πάντα διδούσ\μη κα\βι \ψα{}πολαμβανούσ\ημ φύσει \δο πεπαιδευμένος
+ κα\βί α\ψι{}δήμων λέγει\; \<<δ\βος, \δβο θέλεις, \ψα{}πόλαβε, \βδο θέλεις\>>.
+ Λέγει δ\βε το\πυ{}το ο\ψυ καταθρασυνόμενος, \ψα{}λλ\βά πειθαρχ\πών μόνον κα\βι
+ ε\ψυ{}νο\πων α\ψυ{}τ\πμη.
+}
+\end{document}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+It should be noted that the use of the double \{\} is necessary to separate a command from the rest of the word. For example: \tb ψαπολαμβανούσ\tb ημ is not correct because there is no command named \tb ψαπολαμβανούσ The \{\} combination separates the initial ἀ (written
+with the command \tb ψα) of the word ἀπολαμβανούσῃ from πολαμβανούσ\ημ (which uses the command \tb ημ or equivalently the \tb μη to put the iota subscriptum below η). It should be also noted that if a space or other final character (comma, semicolon, colon, quotation mark and so on) follows then the use of \{\} is not nessesary. We can alternatively use the commands \tb / or \tb ] to avoid the use of {\sf Shift} key to type the \{\}. You could also use the tilde character \verb'~' (U + 007E) for this case. Certainly, the latter use the {\sf Shift} key so the time required for the typing \tb ] (two characters), for example, is the same as the time required for the combination {\sf Shift + tilde}. If you prefer the tilde symbol for seperation purposes then you should put somewhere in the begining of main part of the code
+the command \verb'\tildeON'. The command \verb'\tildeOFF' restores the \char"007E (tilde) to its normal \LaTeX{} use.
+ \vspace{1em}\\ \noindent
+ {\bf Example:}
+ \tb ψα\tb ]πόλαβε or equivalently \tb tildeON .... \tb ψα\char"007E πόλαβε ....\tb tildeOFF
+
+\section{Last Comments}
+
+The {\sf greektonoi.sty} package must be in the same folder that we save our code or it must be installed in our \TeX{} system. It can be used with the {\sf greektonoi.tec} or independently from it. It offers great possibilities for easily typing polytonic greek or converting monotonic to polytonic using simple commands. Within the package are stored
+with memorable names many commands to type even archaic Greek letters. For example, to insert the left double quotes
+(U + 00AB, «) we can use the command \tb << while the corresponding right (U + 00BB, ») are inserted with the command \tb >>.
+To obtain the semicolon (U + 0387, Greek ano teleia) we use the command \tb ; There is also the possibility to introduce numerals of the Greek system such as sambi ϡ and Ϡ (ie. the greek small letter sampi and letter sampi respectively) with the commands \tb σαμ and \tb Σαμ respectively. There are quite a few archaic symbols like digamma \Γγ(U + 03DC, Digamma) and \γγ(U + 03DD, small digamma) using the commands \tb Γγ and \tb γγ respectively and many other commands for the unicode sets mentioned in the introduction. We can find them by an inspection of {\sf greektonoi.sty}.
