From article <12423@reed.UUCP>, by jjake@reed.UUCP (Jacob Sisk): " " Among other things, I study Ancient Greek, and have access to a number " of machine readable texts. I would very much like to be able to " incorporate greek text into, say, a paper without too much trouble. How about writing a preprocessor using lex? Settle on a convention for marking Greek portions of text, for instance enclose them in brackets, and have the preprocessor remove the marks and translate the Greek portions with TeX markups as appropriate. If you haven't used lex and this sounds like a good idea, if you were to send me some sample text with information about what TeX commands make the Greek look right, I could whip up a prototype. I think this approach would be much easier than trying to do it directly with TeX or troff code. Greg, lee@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu
