).
Usage
[edit]Example
* {{Greek|Ἰητρικὴ τεχνέων μὲν πασέων ἐστὶν ἐπιφανεστάτη - β ϐ φ ϕ θ ϑ ρ ϱ κ ϰ ε ϵ ψ}}
- Ἰητρικὴ τεχνέων μὲν πασέων ἐστὶν ἐπιφανεστάτη - β ϐ φ ϕ θ ϑ ρ ϱ κ ϰ ε ϵ ψ
Multiple paragraphs
[edit]For multiple paragraphs, either use {{Greek block}}, or {{Greek block/s}} and {{Greek block/e}}.
Wiktionary linking
[edit]You can optionally link to the Ancient Greek section of a Wikitionary entry with parameter 2:
- {{Greek|λύω|λύω}} → λύω
This should be done sparingly and in accordance with annotations guidelines.
Customisation
[edit]If you wish to use a particular font for Ancient Greek, you can add CSS like the following to your CSS:
[lang=grc] {
font-family: Gentium, 'Linux Libertine', 'Palatino Linotype';
}
Italics

Note that while many fonts may appear similar to italic Latin glyphs, Greek is generally not italicised. If in doubt, check capital letters: if they are upright, the text is not italic, it's just in a font that has slightly slanted lowercase letters.
