Template:Polytonic/doc

This template uses the Universal Language Selector extension to provide the following functions:
 * 1) Uses the lang HTML global attribute to identify the text's language as Ancient Greek (grc).
 * 2) Provides a series of appropriate web fonts for displaying the Greek characters.

Note: This template is used for Ancient Greek text that uses polytonic orthography. Modern Greek text that uses monotonic orthography should be placed in the template Modern Greek instead. For more information on monotonic vs. polytonic orthography, see w:Greek diacritics.

Usage
