name metre category Package shortdesc Support for the work of classicists longdesc The package provides classicists with some of the tools that are longdesc needed for typesetting scholarly publications dealing with Greek longdesc and Latin texts, with special emphasis on Greek verse. As the longdesc package's name suggests, its core is a comprehensive set of longdesc commands for generating metrical schemes and for placing longdesc prosodical marks on text set in the Latin or the Greek alphabet. longdesc The rest of the package provides a miscellany of commands for longdesc symbols (most of them not directly related to metre) that are longdesc often used in critical editions of classical texts. The package longdesc does not require any special font: all symbols are taken from the longdesc Computer Modern fonts (which are included in all TeX longdesc distributions) and the package's commands are based on TeX longdesc primitives.
