News ==== :May 2013: * new maintainer. * Unicode support with the standard "utf8" option. Files ===== ``_ Greek input encoding file for UTF-8 comprising Greek letters and other symbols present in the LGR encoding. This file requires ``lgrenc.def`` version 0.8.2 or newer from the greek-fontenc_ package. The literate source was converted with PyLit_ to reStructuredText_ and with Docutils_ to ``_. ``_ Greek input encoding file for `ISO 8859-7`_ by Apostolos Syropoulos. [#transliteration]_ ``_ Greek input encoding file for Macintosh (ELOT 823) by Dimitrios Filippou. [#transliteration]_ Test examples and output: :utf-8: ``_, ``_ (comprehensive example) :iso 8859-7: ``_, ``_ (basic test) .. [#transliteration] Currently, these files translate to a Latin transcription particular to the LGR font encoding. Drawbacks include: Latin characters in PDF strings (hyperref_ bookmarks and TOC sidebar, cf. greekhyperref.pdf__), no kerning between accented characters. __ http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/lgrx/greekhyperref.pdf Installation ============ If possible, get this package from your distribution using its installation manager. Otherwise, make sure LaTeX can find the files ending in ``.def``: * Download and unpack `greek-inputenc.zip` or just download the required file(s). * Copy, move, or link the files to a suitable place in the `TeX Directory Structure` (TDS_) and run ``texhash``, or place them in the current working directory (e.g. for testing). Usage ===== Pass the encoding name as option to inputenc_. For example :: \usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc} The "utf8" option only defines characters that are accessible in declared font encodings. In order to load the Greek definitions in ``lgrenc.dfu``, specify the LGR font encoding with fontenc_ or the "greek" or "polutonikogreek" options for babel_, e.g. :: \usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} or :: \usepackage[greek,english]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} See `test-utf8.tex`_ for an example. ..
