===== ============ =============================================================
1.3 2013-05-17 New maintainer.
.. Unicode support with the standard "utf8" option.
1.4 2013-07-16 bugfix for GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO WITH PSILI/DASIA,
.. drop "greek" from macro names for ancient characters,
.. ``\ypogegrammeni`` and ``\prosgegrammeni`` instead of ``|``
1.4.1 2013-07-18 bugfix: wrong breathings psilioxia -> dasiaoxia
1.5 2014-09-14 Use named accent macros for Greek accents,
.. Documentation update (warn of ``;``-conversion!)
1.5.1 2015-06-04 Fix definition of spacing diacritical characters in utf8.dfu.
1.6 2015-08-05 Fix output of accented characters with "textalpha" if the
current font encoding is not LGR (wrap in \ensuregreek),
.. Map GREEK ... SYMBOL characters.
===== ============ =============================================================
Files
=====
`<lgrenc.dfu>`_
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 `<lgrenc.dfu.html>`_.
`<iso-8859-7.def>`_
Greek input encoding file for `ISO 8859-7`_ by Apostolos Syropoulos.
[#transliteration]_
`<macgreek.def>`_
Greek input encoding file for Macintosh (ELOT 823) by Dimitrios Filippou.
[#transliteration]_
Test examples and output:
:utf-8: `<greek-utf8.tex>`_, `<greek-utf8.pdf>`_ (comprehensive example)
:iso 8859-7: `<test-iso-8859-7.tex>`_, `<test-iso-8859-7.pdf>`_ (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.

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_.
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_, the "greek" option for
babel_, or both, e.g. ::
\usepackage[LGR,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
or ::
\usepackage[greek,english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
See `greek-utf8.tex`_ for an example.
Warning
-------
LGR is no "standard font encoding". Latin characters and some other ASCII
symbols are mapped to Greek equivalents if LGR is the active font encoding.
(See usage.pdf_ for a description of this Latin-Greek transliteration.)
This means you need an explicit font-encoding switch for Latin words and
abbreviations in Greek text, e.g.,
not ``\foreignlanguage{greek}{((ηία αντίσταση 750-kΩ))}``
but ``\foreignlanguage{greek}{((ηία αντίσταση 750-\textlatin{k}Ω))}``.
Special care is also required with the **question mark characters**:
* The Unicode standard says character ``003B SEMICOLON`` (and not 037E) is
the preferred character for `Greek question mark`.
* The LGR font encoding maps the semicolon to a middle dot (ano teleia), while the
Latin question mark is mapped to the erotimatiko.
As a result, only the deprecated character ``037E GREEK QUESTION MARK``
works with both, Xe/LuaTeX and 8-bit TeX.
