Greek for HTML

(by R. Bigoni)

This application can be useful when you need to insert a short text in ancient Greek characters in the source of an HTML page or you have to search for pages with terms in ancient Greek in a search engine.

To compose the text proceed as follows:

• click on a Greek letter; the letter is appended to those already present in the text field;
• clicking on the arrows ← and → you can move back and forth in the sequence of characters already written; the background color shows the cursor position;
• the arrow ↓ allows the insertion of a new letter in the chosen position;
• the button ∅ deletes the letter in the chosen position;
• if the cursor is not visible, when you click on a letter, it is appended to those already present.
• If necessary, for example to separate two words, you can insert the sp (space) key between two letters.

Once the text has been composed, by clicking the copy button the code is transferred to the clipboard from which the code, with the paste operation, can then be transferred to the HTML page being processed.

The buttons of the eighth line allow the insertion of archaic characters such as koppa, digamma or sampi.
The first six keys of the last line allow to couple the spirits, the circumflex accent, the undersigned iota and the short and long signs to the vowels and must be clicked before the vowel to which they refer; empty space and punctuation follow.
