% This extension package complements the greek option of the \babel\
% package so as to enable the use of the Lipsian\footnote{What here
% are called Lipsian fonts are a family of fonts that in Greece are
% called ``Lipsiakos''; they are similar to the ones that were being
% used in the Teubner Printing Company of Lipsia from mid XIX century on.}
% fonts and to use several macros for inserting special annotations
% in the written text, as well as to typeset verses with special
% layout. Metric sequences may be defined and typeset by means of a
% companion font \texttt{gmtr????} that follows the same conventions
% as the CB fonts that are normally used when the \babel\ greek
% option is in force.
%
% Examples and lists of commands are available in the file
% \texttt{teubner-doc.pdf} which, as a regular pdf file, embeds all
% the necessary fonts and may be read on screen as well as printed on paper;
% beware, though, that the PostScript fonts that are being used
% in \texttt{teubner-doc.pdf} are not distributed with the package.
% While this documentation is being written the \TeX{}-Live Team is trying
% to reduce the size of the distribution and one of the proposals is to reduce
% the number of Greek fonts distributed on \TeX-Live; therefore it might
% be necessary that the users of this \textsf{teubner} package download the
% missing fonts directly from one of the \acro{CTAN} archives.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
% Philologists in general have the necessity of using special
% alphabets and several special symbols in order to mark up their
% texts and to typeset them in a special way. Greek philology makes
% no exception, therefore I prepared this file and some extra fonts
% in order to complement what is already available with the greek
% option of the \babel\ package.
%
% I must warmly thank Paolo Ciacchi of the University of Trieste who
% invited me in this ``adventure'', since I know nothing about
% philology; he assisted me with all his competence, so that I
% could learn so many new things and I could appreciate the world of
% philologists.
%
% Paolo Ciacchi's ``invitation'' arrived when I was almost finished
% with the design of the Lipsian font family; I was working on this new
% typeface after a kind request of Dimitri Filippou, with whom I
% already collaborated for other questions related to Greek
% typesetting. I warmly thank also Dimitri Filippou for the
% patience with which he revised every single glyph of the new
% typeface. Paolo Ciacchi added his constructive criticism to the
% typeface, especially for what concerns diacritical marks. At the
% end I think that the new typeface turned out pretty well thanks to
% both my friends.
%
% The Lipsian font, also called Leipzig or Lipsiakos in Greece, is one of the oblique
% fonts that used to be employed by the typesetters working in the
% German city of Leipzig, among which the Teubner Printing Company.
% This Company's classical works of ancient Greek poetry are considered among
% the best ever published. The name of this file and this extension
% package is in honor of that printing company.
%
% This package documentation does not contain any example written in
% Greek, because when you process this file it is very likely that
% you don't have the suitable Greek fonts and you must still download
% all or some of them. Therefore a companion
% file \texttt{teubner-doc.pdf} is included in this bundle where most,
% if not all, the new commands are documented and suitably shown.
%
% This package contains new environments and new commands; it presumes
% the user invokes it after declaring the \texttt{greek} option to the \babel\
% package; should he forget, this package will complain. But once the
% \texttt{greek} option is properly declared, this package verifies that the
% |polutonikogreek| dialect is selected, or that the |polutoniko| attribute
% is set. This choice depends on the particular version of the \babel\
% package, but should not concern the user; switching back and forth
% between classical Greek and some modern western language is performed
% in a transparent way; possibly there might be some problem switching
% from classical to modern spelling in Greek itself, but since in modern
% spelling the multiplicity of Greek diacritical mark is not forbidden,
% it's the author choice to select classical or modern words, Lipsian or
% Didot fonts, polytonic or monotonic accentuation. The worst it can happen
% is that \babel\ might use just one hyphenation pattern set, so that in
% one of the two Greek versions some words might turn out with the wrong
% hyphens.
%
% The CB Greek fonts, which have been available for some years now on
% \acro{ctan} in the directory \texttt{/tex-archive/fonts/greek/cb} have
% been completed with the new files for the Lipsian fonts,and the metric
% symbols font \texttt{gmtr????.*}; 
% the latter does not need a formal font definition file, because
% the necessary definitions are included in this package.
% All fonts are available also as Type~1 scalable fonts. In general, recent
% distributions of the \TeX\ system already contain the necessary
% configuration to use the Type~1 font in one size, 10\,pt, but, thanks
% scaling, these can be used at any size; this version of \textsf{teubner}
% is compatible with this reduced set. If optical sizes are desired for
% a more professional typesetting, the \acro{ctan} archives contain also
% the \textsf{cbgreek-full} package, which includes also all the Type~1
% fonts at the various standard (EC) sizes, plus other facilities that allow
% to use the CB fonts also in conjunction with the Latin Modern ones.
%
% The CB Greek fonts allow to input Greek text with a Latin keyboard and
% by employing the prefix notation; with a Greek keyboard and file
% \texttt{iso-8859-7.def} it is possible to directly input Greek text with the
% monotonic spelling; if polytonic spelling is required I fear that the above
% file is of little help and that a Latin keyboard does the job without
% an excessive burden.
%
% Nevertheless there is a little point to observe; Lipsian fonts are very
% nice but show most kerning errors with more evidence than the traditional
% Didot Greek fonts. With the prefix notation in force, kerning programs may result disabled
% and some diphthongs and some consonant-vowel combinations appear poorly matched when
% the second letter caries any diacritical mark. In order to avoid this
% ``feature'', the accented vowels may be input by means of macros, that
% directly translate to the accented glyph, rather than invoking the ligature
% programs that are implied by the prefix notation; reading a Greek text
% on the screen while editing the input \texttt{.tex} file when a Latin
% keyboard and such macros are used may be very strange, but authors get
% used to it, and agree that the effort is worth the result.
%
% \section{Environments}
% I apologize if I chose Italian names for verse environments; I wanted to
% use names very different from the corresponding English ones, but at the
% same time easily recognizable.
%
% \DescribeEnv{versi}\DescribeMacro{\verso}  The environment \texttt{versi}
% is used to typeset verses
% in line, without an end of line at the end of each verse; a vertical bar
% with a number on top of it marks the verse limit while allowing a numeric
% reference to a specific verse; the opening environment statement requires
% a string, a short text, in order to indent the verse lines the amount of
% this string width; the syntax is the following
% \begin{sintassi}
% \bslash begin\lbr versi\rbr\lbr\meta{string}\rbr{}
% \meta{verse}\bslash verso[\meta{starting number}]\meta{verse}\bslash verso
% \meta{verse}\bslash verso\meta{verse}\dots{}
% \bslash end\lbr versi\rbr
% \end{sintassi}
% where, of course, \meta{starting number} is required only for the first
% instance of |\verso| or when numbering must be restarted, for example
% after an ellipsis.
%
% \DescribeEnv{Versi} The environment \texttt{Versi} is similar to the
% standard \LaTeX\ environment \texttt{verse}, except verses are numbered
% on multiples of~5; the opening statement requires the \meta{starting
% number} as an optional argument; if this optional argument is not specified,
% the starting number is assumed to be~1.
% \begin{sintassi}
% \bslash begin\lbr Versi\rbr[\meta{starting number}]
% \meta{verse}\bslash\bslash{}\meta{*}[\meta{vertical space}]
% \meta{verse}\bslash\bslash{}
% \dots{}
% \bslash end\lbr Versi\rbr
%\end{sintassi}
%
% \DescribeEnv{VERSI}\DescribeMacro{\SubVerso}\DescribeMacro{\NoSubVerso}
% The environment \texttt{VERSI} allows for two verse
% enumerations; the main enumeration is identical to the one performed by
% the previous environment \texttt{Versi}, while the secondary enumeration
% is in smaller digits and normally numbers consecutive verses, except
% that it can be turned on and off; the verses that lack the secondary
% enumeration are indented by moving them to the right.
% \begin{sintassi}
% \bslash begin\lbr VERSI\rbr[\meta{starting principal number}]
% \meta{verse}\bslash\bslash\meta{*}[\meta{vertical space}]
% \bslash SubVerso[\meta{starting secondary number}]
% \meta{verse}\bslash\bslash\meta{*}[\meta{vertical space}]
% \dots{}
% \bslash NoSubVerso
% \meta{verse}\bslash\bslash\meta{*}[\meta{vertical space}]
% \dots
% \bslash end\lbr VERSI\rbr
% \end{sintassi}
% where if \meta{starting principal number} is missing, 1 is assumed,
% while if \meta{starting secondary number} is missing, the enumeration
% is continued from the next available integer. Of course
% \meta{starting secondary number} is used again when the secondary
% enumeration must be restarted; there are no means to restart the
% principal enumeration.
%
% \DescribeEnv{bracedmetrics} The previous environments accept \meta{verses}
% in any language and in any alphabet, the one that is in force before opening
% the environment; the language and, even less, the alphabet cannot be
% globally changed within the above environments; if such a change is performed,
% it is valid only for one verse, or for the remaining fraction of the verse
% after the language or font change. This means, among the other things, that
% if the default ``alphabet'' is the one that shows the metric symbols,
% the above environments may be used to display ``metric verses'', that is the
% pattern of long, short or ancipital symbols, together with any other metric symbol
% so as to display the metrics without disturbing the written text; when doing
% this metric typesetting, it may happen that some verse patterns exhibit some variants;
% in this case the \texttt{bracedmetrics} environment comes handy, because it
% can display such variants in separate lines but grouped with a large right
% brace; some commands allow to roughly align these variants, so as to
% allow to nest several such environments as if they were single blocks of metric
% symbols. The argument of the opening statement specifies the width of the
% block so as to align properly all the symbols even in nested environments.
% \begin{sintassi}
% \bslash begin\lbr bracedmetrics\rbr\lbr\meta{length}\rbr{}
% \meta{metric pattern}\bslash\bslash
% \meta{metric pattern}\bslash\bslash
% \dots{}
% \bslash end\lbr bracedmetrics\rbr
% \end{sintassi}
% \DescribeMacro{\verseskip}\DescribeMacro{\Hfill} Within the \meta{metric pattern}
% it is possible to flush right the symbols
% by prefixing the whole string with a |\Hfill| command; the \meta{length} may
% be specified as an integer multiple of a ``long'' symbol by means of
%\begin{sintassi}
% \bslash verseskip\lbr\meta{number}\rbr
%\end{sintassi}
% The macro |\verseskip| can be used also within \meta{metric pattern}
% in order to space out metric symbols.
%
% \section{Commands and symbols}
% This package defines a lot of commands for inserting special signs in the middle
% of regular text, for marking zeugmas and synizeses, for putting unusual accents
% on any symbol, for inserting special ``parentheses'' that are used by philologists
% for marking blocks of letters or blocks of text. I suggest that the user consults
% the documentation file \texttt{teubner-doc.pdf} for a complete list of commands
% and symbols.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\newmetrics} Here it might be useful to describe a command
% for defining metric sequences, so as to shorten the definition of metric verses;
% this new command is |\newmetrics| and may be used for the definition of new commands
% whose name \emph{may start with one digit}: precisely this digit may be one
% of~2, 3,~4. Even if \LaTeX\ does not allow macros to contain both digits
% and letters, other service macros have been defined so as to handle these
% special control sequences even if they start with \emph{one} digit strictly lower
% than~5. The syntax is:
% \begin{sintassi}
% \bslash newmetrics\lbr\meta{control sequence}\rbr\lbr\meta{definition}\rbr
% \end{sintassi}
% where \meta{definition} consists in general of a sequence of metric commands such as
% |\longa|, |\brevis|, |\anceps|, etc.

% \section{Code}
% The beginning of the file starts with the traditional stuff;
% as usual we provide also the means for avoiding reading this file again.
%    \begin{macrocode}

    \def\teubner{teubner}\else\expandafter\endinput
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% In order to use the PostScript pfb fonts (CM, EC, and CB) it is necessary to know if
% we are dealing with \LaTeX\ or pdf\LaTeX; this is necessary because apparently the
% pfb math extensible fonts derived from the \textsf{META\-FONT} counterparts do not have exactly the same
% effective dimensions; this is why the ``zeugma'' and the ``synizesis'' signs have to be corrected
% when the pfb fonts are used; with these, in facts, the black leader that joins the curved
% extremities appears a little too fat and does not join exactly le left mark. Therefore we
% define a new boolean\footnote{Thanks to Yuqing Deng who spotted an error somewhere else,
% that followed from an improper definition of the state variable \texttt{\string\ifPDF} such
% that the program performed correctly under \texttt{pdflatex} and crashed under \texttt{latex}.}:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifPDF \PDFfalse
\@ifundefined{pdfoutput}{\PDFfalse}{\ifnum\pdfoutput>\z@\PDFtrue\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
% When \texttt{teubner.sty} is input the language Greek must have been already defined;
% otherwise an error message is issued and processing is terminated.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\captionsgreek\undefined

{Type X <return> to exit.}
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% If this test is passed, this means that not only the greek option to the \babel\ package
% is set, but also that all the \babel\ machinery is available.
%
%  Since \texttt{teubner.sty} accepts some options it is necessary to provide
% their definitions; in particular the |\or| control sequence conflicts
% with the |\or| primitive command used within the syntax of |\ifcase|\footnote{With
% version 2002/07/18 v.1.0d this has been eliminated; the option remains for
% compatibility with older versions, but the only legal command is now \texttt{\string\oR}.};
% |\oR|is a little exception since all the other accent-vowel macros
% contain only lowercase letters. The point is that accent vowel sequences
% that directly access the accented glyph are made up as such:
% \begin{sintassi}
% \bslash \meta{vowel}\meta{first diacritic}\meta{second diacritic}\meta{third diacritic}
% \textrm{where}
% \meta{first diacritic} \textrm{is \texttt{d} or \texttt{r}  or \texttt{s} for diaeresis, rough or smooth breadth}
% \meta{second diacritic} \textrm{is \texttt{c} or \texttt{a} or \texttt{g} for circumflex or acute or grave}
% \meta{third diacritic} \textrm{is \texttt{i} for iota subscript or adscript}
% \end{sintassi}
% Evidently none of the diacritical marks is compulsory, but at least one must
% be present; if more than one is present it must be given in that sequence. Since |\oR|
% means omicron with rough breath, it is not very important that it is declared
% with the standard sequence |<o| or with |\oR|, because it never
% falls after another letter, so that it never breaks any ligature or kerning command.
% At the same time since all accent combinations are defined as ``text commands'', in \LaTeX\ jargon,
% when their commands are followed by a vowel they define a ``text symbol'' that is directly the
% glyph of the accented vowel; therefore |<o|, |\oR| and |\r{o}| are all equivalent (at the beginning of a word
% where omicron with rough breath is the only place where you can find it). See more on this
% point in the sequel.
%
% At the same time, from July 2005, The full collection of the complete size set of
% the CB fonts is not available any more as the default; only the 10pt size are available; for this reason
% anew option is needed in order to instruct \texttt{teubner.sty} to use the specific file \texttt{type1ec.sty}
% dated at least 2002/09/07, so as to scale all EC and CB fonts from an original at 10\.pt. IN order that
% the \texttt{10pt} plays its role correctly, it is convenient, if not compulsory, to require first the
% \texttt{babel} package, then the \texttt{teubner} one with the option \texttt{10pt}, then all other packages
% required for a specifica document, in particular the \texttt{fontenc} one if the \texttt{T1} encoding
% is requested; this happens when the typesetting with fonts such as the EC, TX, PX, LM, ZE,~\dots\ ones is required.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifor\orfalse % Compatibility with older versions
\DeclareOption{or}{\relax}
\newif\ifonesizetypeone
\DeclareOption{10pt}{\onesizetypeonetrue}
\ProcessOptions*
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% In the sequel we frequently use the acronym for the Greek font encoding; we hope
% it will eventually become \texttt{GR} or, following the actual 256 glyph font
% encodings, \texttt{T7} or \texttt{X7}\footnote{Apparently \texttt{T7} has been chosen
% to define an encoding where the first 128 glyphs are the standard \texttt{OT1}
% encoded Latin fonts, and the second group again of 128 glyphs contains the Greek
% characters; therefore, since polytonic spelling requires more than 128 glyphs, the extended
% encoding \texttt{X7} will probably become the one applicable to the whole set of the CB fonts.}.
% Meanwhile the acronym is \texttt{LGR}, so we'd better
% define a symbolic name, so that we can change the definitive name in just one place.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\GRencoding@name{LGR}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now the default Olga Greek fonts, used for rendering the ``Greek italic shape''
% are substituted with the Lipsian ones; this simply requires to reenter the
% shape definition commands used in the font description file with new commands
% that refer to the Lipsian fonts; the font encoding is already known to the package
% so that any encoding dependent name is correctly defined. If the \texttt{10pt} option was specified
% it is necessary to load also the package \texttt{type1ec.sty}:
% \begin{macrocode}
\ifonesizetypeone\RequirePackage[10pt]{type1ec}[2002/09/07]\fi
\input{lgrcmr.fd}
\expandafter\EC@family\expandafter{\GRencoding@name}{cmr}{m}{it}  {grml}
\expandafter\EC@family\expandafter{\GRencoding@name}{cmr}{bx}{it} {grxl}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\metricsfont} Similarly the metric symbol font is declared together
% with a command for selecting it:
% \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{mtr}{\hyphenchar\font\m@ne}
\EC@family{U}{mtr}{m}{n}{gmtr}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{mtr}{m}{it}{<->ssub*mtr/m/n}{}
\newcommand*\metricsfont{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{mtr}\upshape}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% Next we require the package for extensible math fonts; it might be strange to use
% extensible math fonts in Greek philology, but a certain command must be picked up
% from such fonts, with the assurance that it changes size together with the current
% font size.
% \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{exscale}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Some macros are necessary to switch languages; such macros must be independent
% (at least for now) from the particular \babel\ version, whether it be version 3.6
% or~3.7; in the former the concept of language attribute is unknown, while the latter
% recognizes varieties of the same language by the attribute setting. Such macros,
% besides being as robust as possible, must provide the alphabet changes as required.
%\begin{macro}{\GreekName} During the language switching operations  |\GreekName|
% distinguishes the dialect or the main language whose attribute
% gets set and, evidently, becomes effective when the main language \texttt{greek}
% is in force.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\languageattribute\undefined
 \def\GreekName{polutonikogreek}%
\else
 \languageattribute{greek}{polutoniko}\def\GreekName{greek}%
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%\begin{macro}{\previouslanguage}
%\begin{macro}{\previousencoding} The ``default'' language is defined as the ``previous''
% language; similarly the ``default'' encoding is defined as the ``previous'' encoding; these
% are the language and the encoding in force when the document starts; this is why such macros
% are defined at the beginning of the document:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\AtBeginDocument{%
    \edef\previouslanguage{\languagename}%
    \edef\previousencoding{\f@encoding}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Nevertheless this requires a minimum of attention in specifying the options for the
% \babel\ package and in the order extensions packages are read in. The |teubner.sty| package
% should be read \emph{after} any other package that sets o resets font definitions,
% in particular if font encoding is defined; for example if the T1 encoding is selected
% as the default one, in place of the OT1 encoding, then this choice must be made before
% this package is read in. Similarly when the \babel\ options are specified, remember that
% the last language name becomes the default language at begin document; never
% specify \texttt{greek} as the last language option\dots, well, unless you are going to write
% all your document in Greek; in this case the only switching you need is between
% Didot characters and Lipsian characters (which is simply done by means of |\upshape|
% and |\itshape|); in any case specify the polytonic spelling.
%\end{macro}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{macro}{\Lipsiakostext} |\Lipsiakostext| is a declaration stating that from now on
% typesetting will be done with the Lipsian fonts; notice that the encoding and the
% language name in force before this declaration are memorized, then the current
% Greek version is selected; the |\let\~\GRcirc| is required because swithching
% on and off may reset the active tilde and connected macros definitions. |\~| in Greek
% must set the circumflex accent, so we make sure that this really occurs.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\Lipsiakostext{\edef\previouslanguage{\languagename}%
    \edef\previousencoding{\f@encoding}%
    \expandafter\select@language\expandafter{\GreekName}%
    \let\~\GRcirc\let~\greek@tilde\itshape}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%\begin{macro}{\NoLipsiakostext} |\NoLipsiakostext| is the opposite declaration
% that undoes everything that was done with |\Lipsiakostext|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\NoLipsiakostext{%
    \expandafter\select@language\expandafter{\previouslanguage}%
    \expandafter\fontencoding\expandafter{\previousencoding}\upshape
    \edef\previouslanguage{\languagename}%
    \edef\previousencoding{\f@encoding}\bbl@activate{~}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%\begin{macro}{\textLipsias} |\textLipsias| is a command that typesets its argument
% with the |\Lipsiakostext| declaration in force; actually the external font encoding
% and language are not memorized, because the pertinent Greek commands are just local.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\textLipsias[1]{{%
    \expandafter\select@language\expandafter{\GreekName}%
    \expandafter\fontencoding\expandafter{\GRencoding@name}%
    \itshape\let\~\GRcirc\let~\greek@tilde#1}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%\begin{macro}{\textDidot} |\textDidot| is a similar macro where the common upright
% Greek characters are selected; it goes by itself that if |\textit| is specified
% within the |\textDidot| argument, the typesetting is or becomes identical with what
% one can obtain with the |\textLipsias| command.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\textDidot[1]{{%
    \expandafter\select@language\expandafter{\GreekName}%
    \expandafter\fontencoding\expandafter{\GRencoding@name}%

%\begin{macro}{\textlatin} |\textlatin| is a redefinition of the standard \babel\
% macro that is adapted to the present situation, where it may be called behind the

% every precaution is taken in order to be sure that the composition of the command

%
% Now we start the specific additions introduced with this package.
%
% \begin{macro}{\numero}
% We define a short macro |\numero| used to strip off the pt part of a dimension value
% as displayed by \TeX\ itself; this service macro is going to be used quite a lot for
% getting the font slant per point parameter so as to be able to put in their correct
% position various signs over or under other signs.
% \begin{macrocode}
{%
\catcode`p=12\catcode`t=12\gdef\numero#1pt{#1}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% With the help of such service macro we are going to define a certain number of
% ``lift accent'' macros or ``put cedilla'' macros that work with both upright and
% slanted fonts, although they contain different parameters for Latin compared to
% Greek alphabets.
% \begin{macro}{\lift@accent} The first ``lift accent'' macro just puts an accent over
% a letter, without inserting any space between them; the first argument is the accent
% code (decimal, hexadecimal or octal; I prefer decimal), while the second argument
% is the letter --~any letter, even if it is not a vowel!
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\lift@accent[2]{\leavevmode
{\edef\slant@{\expandafter\numero\the\fontdimen1\font}%
\dimen@=\z@\setbox\z@\hbox{\char#1}\advance\dimen@-.5\wd\z@
\setbox\tw@\hbox{i}\setbox\z@\hbox{#2}%
\ifdim\wd\z@>\wd\tw@\advance\dimen@ .5\wd\z@
    \else\advance\dimen@ .3\wd\z@\fi
\ifx#2a\advance\dimen@-.1\wd\z@\fi

\advance\dimen@\slant@\@tempdima
\raise\@tempdima\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\char#1\relax\hss}\box\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
%
% \begin{macro}{\Lift@accent} The second ``lift accent'' macro behaves
% as the first one except it interposes a small
% vertical distance between the accent and the letter:
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\Lift@accent[2]{\leavevmode
{\edef\slant@{\expandafter\numero\the\fontdimen1\font}%
\dimen@=\z@\setbox\z@\hbox{\char#1}\advance\dimen@-.5\wd\z@

\advance\dimen@\slant@\@tempdima
\raise\@tempdima\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\char#1\relax\hss}\box\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\LIFT@accent} The third ``lift accent'' macro behaves as the first one,
% except it interposes a specified vertical space between the letter and the accent;
% this space is specified as the second argument:
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\LIFT@accent[3]{\leavevmode
{\edef\slant@{\expandafter\numero\the\fontdimen1\font}%
\dimen@=\z@\setbox\z@\hbox{\char#1}\advance\dimen@-.5\wd\z@
\setbox\tw@\hbox{i}\setbox\z@\hbox{#3}%
\ifdim\wd\z@>\wd\tw@\advance\dimen@ .5\wd\z@

\def\@tempA{#2}\ifx\@tempA\undefined\else
\advance\@tempdima#2\fi\let\@tempA\undefined
\advance\dimen@\slant@\@tempdima
\raise\@tempdima\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\char#1\relax\hss}\box\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% All these macros will be used in subsequent ``put accent'' macros, that will
% stack also several accents one above the other; the necessity arises for example
% when the macron or breve diacritical marks have to be put over accented letters;
% according to typographical practice the accents must go over the macron or the breve.
% In a similar way philologists often must use other diacritical marks in addition
% to the traditional Greek ones, therefore these macros will be used, for example, for
% setting the Scandinavian ring (from a Latin font) over a Greek letter (from a Greek font).
%
% \begin{macro}{\cap@} The first such unusual diacritical mark is a small cap,
% a small upside down breve sign, that is in position~1 of the Greek font table.
% \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\cap@}[1]{\leavevmode
{\edef\slant@{\expandafter\numero\the\fontdimen1\font}%
\setbox\tw@\hbox{\fontencoding{\GRencoding@name}\selectfont
    \char1}\dimen@-.5\wd\tw@
\setbox\z@\hbox{#1}%
\advance\dimen@ .5\wd\z@
\@tempdima\ht\z@\advance\@tempdima.55ex\relax
\advance\dimen@\slant@\@tempdima
\ifx\cf@encoding\GRencoding@name\else
\ifx#1k\advance\dimen@-.3\wd\tw@\fi\fi
\raise\@tempdima\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\box\tw@\relax\hss}\box\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% The |\ifx\cf@encoding\GRencoding@name| conditional construct shows that this
% macro behaves differently with different font encodings; the following |\ifx#1k|
% checks the argument against the Greek letter kappa, which shows very clearly
% that these macros operate on any letter, not only vowels.
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\cap} By means of the above |\cap@| macro we can define three equivalent
% commands to be used either when the Greek encoding is in force, or when one of the
% Latin encodings is in force:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareTextCommand{\cap}{\GRencoding@name}{\cap@}
\DeclareTextCommand{\cap}{OT1}{\cap@}
\DeclareTextCommand{\cap}{T1}{\cap@}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Probably one definition would be sufficient, but on one side the presence
% of three encoding dependent macros are the remains of initial works, while on the other
% side they prevent to use these macros with encodings for which the macro might not
% work well, because it was not tested with other encodings.
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\cap@cedilla} Similarly a small cap can be put under another letter
% as it was a cedilla; for this task another macro is defined, which makes use of
% the same glyph in position~1 in the Greek font table:
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\cap@cedilla[1]{\leavevmode
{\setbox4\hbox{\fontencoding{\GRencoding@name}\selectfont\char1}%
\dimen@-.5\wd4
\setbox\z@\hbox{#1}%
\ifx\cf@encoding\GRencoding@name
\ifx#1i\advance\dimen@ .65\wd\z@\else\advance\dimen@ .6\wd\z@\fi
\else
\ifx#1i\advance\dimen@ .55\wd\z@\else\advance\dimen@ .5\wd\z@\fi
\fi
\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\box4\hss}\unhbox\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\ring@cedilla} Another cedilla like diacritical mark is the
% Scandinavian ring put under a letter; the correct positioning requires
% careful examination of the letter under which it is to be placed, distinguishing
% the Greek from the Latin encodings:
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\ring@cedilla[1]{\leavevmode
{\setbox4\hbox{\metricsfont\char26}%
\edef\slant@{\expandafter\numero\the\fontdimen1\font}%

    \fi\fi\fi
\fi
\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\box4\hss}\unhbox\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\dot@cedilla} Even the standard \LaTeX\ macro |dot| must be redefined
% with a cedilla like macro, so as to make use of a special dot from the
% metric symbols font:
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\dot@cedilla[1]{\leavevmode
{\setbox4\hbox{\metricsfont\char27}%
\dimen@-.5\wd4
\setbox\tw@\hbox{i}\setbox\z@\hbox{#1}%
\ifx\cf@encoding\GRencoding@name
    \advance\dimen@ .5\wd\z@
    \ifx#1h\advance\dimen@-.13\wd\z@\fi
\else
    \ifdim\wd\z@>\wd\tw@\advance\dimen@.55\wd\z@

\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\box4\hss}\unhbox\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\tie@cedilla} \LaTeX\ has the macro |\t| for placing a ``tie'' over two
% letters; philologists require also a tie under two letters; this is why another
% cedilla like macro is needed:
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\tie@cedilla[1]{\leavevmode % mette un tie sotto l'argomento
{\setbox4\hbox{\fontencoding{\GRencoding@name}\selectfont\char20}%
\dimen@-.5\wd4

    \ifx#1u\advance\dimen@.15\wd\z@\fi
\else

\fi
\setbox\tw@\hbox{o}\ifdim\wd\z@=\wd\tw@\advance\dimen@-.05\wd\z@\fi
\hbox to\z@{\kern\dimen@\box4\hss}\unhbox\z@}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% All these accent like and cedilla like macros will be extensively used in the following
% definitions.
%    \begin{macrocode}
% grave
\DeclareTextCommand{\`}{\GRencoding@name}[1]{\lift@accent{96}{#1}}

\DeclareTextCommand{\~}{\GRencoding@name}[1]{\lift@accent{126}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% For the diaeresis we need to put an invisible character (|v| in the LGR encoded CB fonts)
% in order to avoid any ligature with an implied end of word (boundarychar) that turns
% the diaeresis into an apostrophe.
%    \begin{macrocode}

\DeclareTextCommand{\u}{\GRencoding@name}[1]{\lift@accent{30}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Besides the normal |\u| command for setting a breve command, another ``big breve''
% is required by philologists, who need to mark a diphthong, or in general two letters;
% the macro |\U| does the job, but it is the typesetter's responsibility to input
% the macro argument as made of two letters (possibly with their own accents)
% \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareTextCommand{\U}{\GRencoding@name}[1]{\lift@accent{151}{#1}}

% circumflex+smooth
\DeclareTextCommand{\Cs}{\GRencoding@name}[1]{\lift@accent{92}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Most of the above accent commands are used again in order to tie
% a text symbol meaning to certain combinations, that is when they receive as argument
% a vowel whose accented glyph is present in the font; in this way in order to type
% ``alpha with rough breath, acute accent and iota subscript'' you can type \verb"<'a|",
% or \verb"\Ar{a}|" or |\arai|; the advantage of using the first notation is its
% short string; the advantage of the second is that it does not break kerning
% commands with a preceeding letter; the advantage of the third is that it
% does not break any kerning either before or after. With the Lipsian font
% this trick is particularly useful for any sequence of alpha and upsilon each
% one with its own accents and/or diaresis.
%
% In Greek the regular cedilla is meaningless, so that |\c| may be redefined
% as a semivowel command; at the same time the typesetter might be more
% comfortable if he could use always the same, although longer, macro for
% marking a vowel as a semivowel one; therefore |\c| plays the same role
% in Greek as |\semiv|.

% Now come the dozens of macros that allow to access Greek accented vowels (plus rho with
% rough and smooth breaths) with macros instead of ligatures; such macros allow the
% kerning information to be used by \TeX, while the ligature mechanism would sometimes
% impeach the use of such kerning information. Notice that the same glyphs are often accessed
% with a ``text symbol'' or a ``text composite symbol''; as explained above the opportunity
% of using either one derives from the necessity of maintaining the kerning mechanism embedded in
% the font; if the CB fonts had a postfixed accent notation, instead of a prefixed one, none of
% these macros would be necessary (probably\dots!), but there would be other inconveniences.

% one defined in the \texttt{greek} extension to \babel, the latter being
% a standard mathematical symbol; initially I believed that philologists do
% not use mathematical symbols so we made |\digamma| an alias for |\f|; afterwards I found out that
% mathematicians, physicists, engineers, \dots\ use the \textsf{teubner.sty} package and that the |\digamma| is a symbol
% already defined in the package \textsf{amssymb.sty}; therefore I made a

% question mark that, philologically speaking, represents an uncertain element, not
% the termination of a real question; it should therefore always come out between
% parentheses and in upright shape from a Latin font. While the parenthesized
% question mark comes from the OT1 Latin upright font, the parentheses obtained with
% |\lpar| and |\rpar| are taken from the metric symbols font, as well as the

%\begin{macro}{\itoq}
%\begin{macro}{\itcq} The following macros allow to set Italian\slash English
% high quotes even while typing in Greek; such quotes are standard in Italian
% and in English typesetting and their commands preserve the font family shape
% and series of the surrounding font. In French typography, as well in the
% typographic traditions of other countries, different quotes are used. In that case
% the typesetter must resort to a change of language, for example returning to German,
% inputting the German quotes, then turning back to Greek. He might as well define
% his own macros, or he might clone the following definitions and change them
% according to his country typographic traditions. If he decides to modify these
% definitions he should either rename this file or he should put his redefinitions
% in a private package to be input \emph{after} \texttt{teubner.sty}.

% remains fixed; the most useful commands are |\GEdqtext| for enclosing some text
% within German double quotes, |\GEqtext| for enclosing some text within German single
% quotes, and |\ENdqtext| for enclosing some text in English double quotes. Apparently
% while setting Greek poetry in stacked, possibly enumerated, verses German double
% or single quotes are often used, since they cannot be misunderstood with Greek
% diacritical marks. Modern Greek double quotes apparently are not appreciated by
% philologists, at least outside Greece.

%
% Now we come to another set of commands like the ones needed to mark the syneresis
% or the zeugma and other similar marks.
%\begin{macro}{\Utie} This first macro sets a ``smile'' symbol under a couple of
% letters. The glyph is fine but is good only for two adjacent letters, therefore
% it is necessary to have a stretchable symbol.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\Utie[1]{%
\mbox{\vtop{\ialign{##\crcr
   \hfil#1\hfil\crcr
   \noalign{\kern.3ex\nointerlineskip}%
   \hfil$\smile$\hfil\crcr}}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{macro}{\siner}
%\begin{macro}{\siniz} This is why the |\siner| and |\siniz| synonymous commands
% have been defined; in place of the ``smile'' symbol they contain a stretchable
% filler |\upfill| that behaves almost as the stretchable horizontal brace that is
% used in the definition of the \LaTeX\ commands |\underbrace| or |\overbrace|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\siner}[1]{%
\mbox{\vtop{\ialign{##\crcr
   \hfil#1\hfil\crcr
   \noalign{\kern.6ex\nointerlineskip}%
   \upfill\crcr}}}}
\let\siniz\siner
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%\end{macro}
%\begin{macro}{\upfill} The |\upfill| is defined as a leader, the same way as the
% corresponding \LaTeX\ stretchable horizontal brace; but as mentioned before we
% introduce a correction in case we are typesetting with pdf\LaTeX, because the
% pfb extensible math fonts, from wich the curved extremities are taken from, apparently
% do not have the actual dimension declared in the tmf files.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\upfill{$\m@th \scriptstyle\setbox\z@\hbox{$\scriptstyle\bracelu$}%
  \kern.16ex\bracelu\ifPDF\kern-.15ex\fi
  \leaders\vrule \@height\ifPDF.85\fi\ht\z@ \@depth\z@\hfill
  \braceru\kern.16ex$}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
%\begin{macro}{\downfill} The down fill arc is totally similar to the  up fill one, except
% for its terminating elements that change the shape of the arc from ``up'' to ``down''; we
% introduce the same correction as in |\upfill| for the same reasons.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\downfill{$\m@th\scriptstyle\setbox\z@\hbox{$\scriptstyle\braceld$}%
  \kern.16ex\braceld\ifPDF\kern-.15ex\fi
  \leaders\vrule \@height\ifPDF.85\fi\ht\z@ \@depth\z@\hfill
  \bracerd\kern.16ex$}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{macro}
% With both macros we could have edited the pfb files, but this would have required
% to distribute the corrected |cmex10.pfb| file together with the bundle, causing possible users
% to mess up their map of PostScript fonts. Of course the chosen solution has the
% opposite draw back: when and if the corrected pfb files will be distributed with each
% more or less complete \TeX\ bundle, then this file will require to be corrected again. But
% this is simple because it suffices to eliminate the whole |\ifPFB| business.
%
%\begin{macro}{\zeugma} Similarly |\zeugma| puts a stretchable arc over its
% argument; it must take into account the slant of the argument font so
% as to skew the placement of the arc.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\zeugma[1]{{\vbox{\setbox\z@\hbox{#1}\dimen@=\ht\z@

%
%\begin{macro}{\slzeugma}
%\begin{macro}{\rszeugma} Although the shape of oblique zeugma arcs cannot be
% changed depending on the width and height of the zeugma argument, in certain
% circumstances the philologists want to use oblique zeugma marks. This is why
% we defined a ``sloping zeugma arc'' |\slzeugma|, and a ``rising zeugma arc''
% |\rszeugma| that can be used with poor results, if such arcs are superimposed
% over the ``wrong'' letters. There is nothing automatic in the choice of the
% oblique arc and is totally on the typesetter responsibility to use the
% correct command.

%
%\begin{macro}{\nexus}
%\begin{macro}{\nesso}The same line of reasoning leads us to define two different
% commands for marking nexus relationships; since such commands are not synonymous
% we had to use the Latin and (arbitrarily) the Italian name to distinguish them.
% The difference is that |\nesso| covers the nexus with a leader made of ``Latin''
% circumflex signs (hats), while |\nexus| covers the nexus with a stretchable trapeze.

%\begin{macro}{\nexfill}
%\begin {macro}{\nexusfill}|\nexfill| is a leader made up of ``Latin'' circumflex
% signs; since the sign has a special meaning in mathematics, the definition
% of |\nexfill| requires the temporary change of the circumflex catcode. The
% command |\nexus|, on the opposite, requires another leader definition that

% in the Greek fonts. |\nexus| is supposed to be used \emph{only} while

% ``coronis'' (synonymous of paragraph, therefore the command |\paragr|) or
% a ``stronger'' mark called ``Coronis'', which differs from the common ``coronis''
% because it bears an  inverted semilunar sign on its left. Both marks are input
% by means of their respective commands |\paragr| (preferred to |\coronis|) or
% |\Coronis| inserted \emph{at the beginning of the paragraph terminating verse}.

%\begin {macro}{\verso}
%\begin{environment}{versi} Here we start with verse environments; we already explained
% we defined three new verse environments that typeset verses in ``in-line'' verses,
% ``numbered by five'' verses, and ``numbered by five and subnumbered'' verses.
% For the environment |versi| we first need a counter and a little macro for
% generating the short bar that has to receive the verse number as a ``limits''
% superscript.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% verse environments
\newcounter{verso}\setcounter{verso}{0}
\newcommand{\smallvert}{\vrule\@height1ex}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Next we define the macro |\verso| that sets the small bar with the verse number on top.
% Since the initial numbering might be different from~1, |\verso| accepts an optional
% argument, which is intended to be the initial counter value. Since |\verso| steps up
% the counter a different action must be taken if the optional argument is present;
% in order to be able to reference such verse by means of the |\label|--|\ref| cross reference
% mechanism, this stepping up must be done by means of |\refstepcounter|; therefore we
% have to leave |\refstepcounter| outside the conditional code, and step down the counter
% by one unit only in case the initial value is specified.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\verso[1][]{%
    \def\@tempA{#1}\ifx\@tempA\empty
    \else
        \setcounter{verso}{#1}\addtocounter{verso}{\m@ne}%
    \fi
    \refstepcounter{verso}%
    \ensuremath{\mathop{\smallvert}\limits^{\theverso}}%
    \space\ignorespaces
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now that the verse separation macro is ready we can define the environment; the required
% opening statement argument represents a short text whose width is taken as a measure
% for indentation, so that verses are typeset with a left margin that leaves out this
% short text. Substantially this environment is a \texttt{list} one, and the left
% margin variable width is totally similar to the one used in |thebibiography| environment.
% Also the |\makelabel| command has been modified accordingly.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newenvironment{versi}[1]{%
\def\makelabel##1{##1}
\list{}{\settowidth\labelwidth{#1}\leftmargin\labelwidth
    \advance\leftmargin\labelsep}%
}{%
\endlist
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%\end{environment}
%\end{macro}
%
%\begin{environment}{Versi} The second environment |Versi| accepts an optional
% starting number in the opening, statement, whose default value is~1: verses are
% composed as in the standard \LaTeX\ |verse| environment (with one minor difference)
% except they are numbered in the left margin with a progression of five; only verse numbers
% that are integer multiples of five are displayed. The minor difference is that stanzas
% cannot be marked with a blank line in the input |.tex| file, as it is customary with
% the standard environment, but if a visual mark is desired, such as extra vertical
% space, it is necessary to resort to the optional spacing parameter that can be specified
% to the |\\| command. This environment uses the same verse counting counter, defined for
% use with the |versi| environment.
%\begin{macro}{\BreakVersotrue}
%\begin{macro}{\BreakVersofalse}
% For specific purposes it is necessary to have a boolean
% variable for allowing or prohibiting verses to split up at the end of line; the default is not
% to split.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifBreakVersi
\BreakVersifalse
\newenvironment{Versi}[1][1]{%
    \setcounter{verso}{#1}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% an internal macro |\writ@verso| does not actually write out the complete, possibly
% numbered verse, but provides for checking that the verse counter contains a multiple of~5,
% and to write it out using old stile numbers; in case the number is not an integer multiple
% of~5 the number is written out as the |\empty| macro.
%\end{macro}
%\end{macro}
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \def\writ@verso{%
        \count255=\value{verso}\divide\count255by5\relax
        \multiply\count255by5\relax
        \advance\count255-\value{verso}%
        \ifnum\count255=\z@
            {\small\expandafter\oldstylenums\expandafter{\the\c@verso}}%
        \else
            \empty
        \fi}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Since the |\\| command should provide the same functionality as the regular \LaTeX\
% command, while in this environment it should provide other functionalities, such as
% triggering the display of the verse number, It is necessary to define an intermediate
% command |\v@rscr|, that examines the possible optional arguments, such as the optional
% star or the brackets enclosing vertical spacing
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \def\\{\@ifstar{\v@rscr{\@M}}{\v@rscr{\z@}}}%
    \def\v@rscr##1{\@ifnextchar[{\wr@teverse{##1}}%
        {\wr@teverse{##1}[\z@]}}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Finally the |\wr@teverse| macro does the actual typesetting of the verse. Notice that
% the environment opening statement and every succeeding previous verse starts an
% horizontal box where the contents of the current verse is stored. Therefore the first
% thing to do is to close the box with the |\egroup| command, then a line of text is
% output that contains a possibly empty box or the verse number and the command for
% stepping up the verse counter, followed by the verse box number~0 and an end of paragraph;
% in this way the |\\| operates always in vertical mode, contrary to what happens in the |verse|
% standard \LaTeX\ environment. Even in this environment the actual typesetting is done
% within a |list| environment, whose parameters are set differently from what they are
% in the |verse| environment. Notice in any case that the command |\wr@teverse| reopens
% the~0 box, so on the last verse, upon closing the environment, it is necessary to
% remember to close such box, whose contents is irrelevant and can be thrown away.
%
% I have experienced some problems in typesetting verses in two-column format; the column width
% might be too short for setting up verses even if verses are not that long, because
% in the left margin there must be room for the verse numbering; for homogeneity the spacing
% must conform also with the following environment \texttt{VERSI} that has a secondary
% verse numbering, therefore it can't be too small. The result is that there might be a test
% for controlling the two-column format, but I think that it is more useful for the typesetter
% to be able to switch on and off the possibility of breaking long verses on more lines.
% On two-column format in any case it is better to leave the right margin to coincide with
% the column right margin.

%\begin{environment}{VERSI} The third environment |VERSI| set verses in the traditional
% way, but numbers them with two different enumerations; the principal one is by
% multiples of five, while the secondary one counts by units, and may be turned on and off,
% or reset at will. We therefore need another counter for the secondary enumeration
% and commands for turning it on and off and for resetting the counter. We need also
% a new length and a new boolean variable in order to manage the secondary enumeration.
% The new length represents an indentation of those verses that do no have the secondary
% enumeration, while secondary enumerated verses are not indented. For \texttt{VERSI}
% there is the same possibility of turning on and off the possibility of breaking verses
% at the end of line as it happens for the environment \texttt{Versi}.
% \begin {macro}{\SubVerso}
% \begin {macro}{\NoSubVerso} Macro |\NoSubVerso| turns off the secondary enumeration;
% macro |\SubVerso| turns on the secondary enumeration, but it accepts an optional
% argument for resetting the secondary counter; the default value is~0; if no optional
% argument is specified, and therefore if the optional argument has its default value~0,
% no resetting is performed and the enumeration keeps going from the last contents of
% the secondary counter; if the first use of |\SubVerso| does not contain the optional
% argument, the secondary enumeration keep going from the old contents of the secondary
% counter which is unpredictable, depending upon the previous occurrences of the
% environment |VERSI|. The typesetter, therefore, must remember to specify the optional
% argument to |\SubVerso| the first time he uses it in this environment.

% from the control sequences it uses for example with |\newcommand|. Next we define
% three numeric control sequences that should be followed by the rest of the macro name.
% The na\"{\i}f user then can type in something like \verb*+\2iamb + in order to activate

%\begin{macro}{\GTROF} Here there are some macros for turning on and off the tracing

% die out by themselves when a group is closed, but it is a good habit to explicitly
% turn them out regardless of groups. Attention that when the tracing facilities are
% on and a page ship out takes place, the |.log| file receives a lot of material, and the

% When typesetting Greek it may occur to specify numbers written out as Milesian numerals;
% the \texttt{greek} option to the \babel\ package defines a couple of macros for transforming
% explicit arabic numerals or counter contents as Milesian numerals. Since this package
% offers more possibilities in the choice of those ``non alphabetic'' characters used in the
% Milesian notation, such macros have to be redefined. On the occasion we changed some
% little internal details so as to make such macros a little faster and more robust.
%\begin{macro}{\Greeknumeral}
%\begin{macro}{\greeknumeral}
%\begin{macro}{\@ifStar}
%\begin{macro}{\grtoday}
% Both |\gereeknumeral| and |\Greeknumeral|, the latter producing
% upper case Greek numerals, while the former produces lower case ones, resort to a service
% macro |\gr@@numeral|. But the new definition accepts the starred version; without the star
% the digit value~6 is represented with a ``stigma'', while with the star that value is
% represented with a lowered ``digamma''. The upper case version requires intermediate
% macros before using |\MakeUppercase| on the result of converting lower to upper case
% Milesian value symbols. This means that |\gr@@numeral| may work only with lower case
% symbols.
% It turned out that the normal redefinition command |\renewcommand| produced fragile
% commands that broke out when used as arguments of other commands, specifically the Greek date
% was broken when it was passed as the argument to the |\date| command of the class \textsf{memoir};
% therefore I decided to redefine the |\@ifstar| macro into another |\@ifStar| one so as not to
% fiddle with \LaTeX\ kernel commands. I defined also the lowercase version of the |\grtoday| date,
% since the \babel\ package provides only the |\today| command with no control over the use of
% which type of numerals; |\grtoday| uses the lowercase Milesian numerals through the redefined
% |\greeknumeral| macro.

%\begin{macro}{\gr@@numeral} |\gr@@numeral| must do most of the processing; it must check
% that the argument is within the allowable range $1\sim999\,999$ and issue suitable
% warnings if not. On the other end if the number is within the correct range it must check
% in which decade it falls and must call other macros so as to produce the correct
% decimal digit~$\leftrightarrow$ Milesian symbol. Six such macros are needed because the
% allowable range contains at maximum six decimal places. Apparently Milesian symbology
% allows to go beyond one million, but Apostolos Syropoulos, who originally wrote the code
% thought (correctly) that Milesian numbers would not be used for ``acrobatic performances''
% but possibly for writing the Greek date with the AD year; six decimal places are
% more than enough for this purpose. |\gr@ill@value| was not redefined from
% Apostolos Syropoulos' \babel\ definition; it simply issues a warning message about
% the argument out of range. The presence of the primitive command |number|
% in these macros is for two purposes: (a) transforms a counter contents into a
% sequence of digits tokens, and (b) if the argument is already a digit string,
% it removes any leading zeros. No braces are present because this string is examined
% sequentially one digit at a time from the leading position to the least significant
% position; of course this means that the decimal zero is treated correctly even
% if Milesian symbols do not have the equivalent of a zero.

%\begin{macro}{\gr@num@vi} The next six macros transform single decimal digits into Milesian
% symbols.
% The argument to each macro is a single decimal digit; their positional value is determined
% by the calling macro that invokes a different transformation routine for every position.
% To the right of the least significant position there must be the symbol ``anwtonos'',
% similar to an apostrophe, while to the left of each most significant symbol whose
% value is greater than 999 there must be a ``katwtonos'' symbol, similar to a lowered
% and inverted apostrophe. Zeros are examined in all macros, except the one for ``units'',
% because their value cannot be printed but there still is the possibility that there are
% no more digits higher than zero, so that the anwtonos must be set.
% Macros |\n@vanta| and |\n@vecento| are set by the calling macros so as to be the
% correct lower or upper case `qoppa' or sampi' respectively.
