White English to Greek Exercises

Postby Carola » Tue Dec 27, 2005 5:00 am

This is a test of the unicode input (again!)

Ex 72

1. ἔλῡον

2. εἴχομεν

3. ἔπεμπετε

Later - I will now be able to input the rest as this method seems to work - but - can anyone explain how to save the exercises in some program (like Word or similar) so I can check them before I post? The only time I see them in unicode is (1) when I use the "Unicode Classical Greek inputter" (and I can't save in this as it's just a Javascript HTML page) and (2) after I have posted the exercise in the forum.

Another experiment - I've changed the font in Word to Palatino Linotype.

3. ἔπεμπετε

Edit: yes - so if you are using the "Classical Greek Inputter", copy and past into Word and set the font to Palatino Linotype. Then you can see all the accents. This can then be copied and pasted in Texkit and it will appear in the correct format after you submit the post.

Accenting: á¼￾πέμπετε.

I was born to be a grammarian. :lol:

I use MS Word, the Palantino font, and the Keyman program with the Classical Greek keyboard/font (Keyman comes with this keyboard/font already)

You didn't ask about this (but it's so cool I have to tell you): Here's how I put unicode into my web pages:

- Type unicode Greek in MS Word using Keyman
- Save the doc as a *.doc file (to work with later in Word)
- Then save the Word doc as an *.html file
- Open the html file in your browser and view the source code
- Copy the source code and paste into the web page.

Check it out (upper right corner):

Test posting unicode gobbledy gook into a web page text box:
á¼￾ν ταῖς κώμαις ἦσαν σκηναί.

Test successful. Coolness factor above normal. However, while editing after posting, the unicode gook is turned into ascii gobbledy goop, which is fine if you don't mess with it; it will still repost just fine.
